Berkeley residents are known for being environmentally conscious, and last weekend, they had the opportunity to learn how to continue this passion while six feet under.
With a display of banana-leaf caskets and urns made of pumpkin gourds, a funeral fair held at Berkeley's Grace North Church hoped to educate people on eco-friendly burial options.
According to Liz O'Connell-Gates, one of the organizers of the event, the funeral fair was meant to show people that it is still possible to be environmentally conscious even in death.
