The use of green burials is rising and the Board of Health wants to be prepared in case they are requested in the city.
The trustees started exploring this initiative in April when they were thinking about updating fees. Bartels brought the option before the board after noticing that Great Barrington approved green burials in August 2020.
The Board of Health continued to chip away on how it wants to word the "Green Burials" guidelines during its meeting on Wednesday.
