\nAbout the pres enter: Coco grew up immersed in the family trade of honoring legacies\, wo rking alongside her father at their monument shop in Milford\, Connecticut . In 2021\, Coco embarked on a transformative journey. She interned at Whi te Eagle Memorial Preserve\, a conservation cemetery nestled in the forest s of Washington State. There\, she discovered a different way to honor the deceased: untreated caskets\, hand-dug graves\, family involvement\, and burial grounds that seamlessly integrated with the surrounding wilderness. This approach not only reconnected loved ones with nature but also foster ed a deep sense of participation and healing in the process of saying good bye. Inspired and determined to bring this ethos to New England\, Coco has made it her mission to reimagine cemeteries as spaces of life\, not just loss. She aims to reconnect people with the land\, with the natural cycle of life and death\, and with their own grief. By advocating for green buri al practices\, Coco is helping communities transform the way they view end -of-life rituals&mdash\;creating places where nature\, memory\, and humani ty coexist in harmony.
