RE: PA regs on "scattering gardens"

People may be interested to know about Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge,
MA -- the country's first landscaped cemetery, which is a bird sanctuary
designed by Olmsted. The nation's most famous environmentalists, birders,
and poets are buried there. This of course is a cemetery, but a wonderful
place to know about as incorporating a woodland garden with another use.
There is also a memorial garden for artists in the Catskills somewhere where
there is a wall with names on it of the people whose ashes have been
scattered there. I wouldn't worry about the lack of permanence. People who
want to be returned to the earth generally appreciate the transience..

Hilary of Endor in the Bronx (a woodland garden where anyone is welcome to
scatter their in-laws)
