A new wave of resting in peace for eternity has American's conscientious of the environment. It's called green cemeteries. The Baldwin Hill Conservation Cemetery opened last month and is considered a nonprofit that manages local burial contractors and funeral homes. The location is a part of Kennebec Land Trust and holds 90 acres of land that is in view of the hills of Fayette. The land serves as a conservation spot that will be the home for the forest, plants, wildlife, and, well, your body. First dibs on plots goes to Kennebec Land Trust members and Fayette residents. The cost for their plots is $1000 per lot. The rest of us have to wait for public sale and rate which is looking to be $1200 per lot. A third of the cost of the lot will go to maintenance costs for the land and cemetery.
