Eloise Woods Burial Park provides a serene woodland landscape just outside of Austin for death, remembrance, and the rituals that accompany both. They offer low-cost, eco-friendly burial services to all loved ones, be they person or pet. By insisting on biodegradable and chemical-free processes, the park allows the deceased to join the natural rhythms of the woods around them. And by offering walking trails to explore, they allow visitors to enjoy the seasons of nature alongside the rhythm of their own grief.
