HK Lee Makes the Case for Conservation Burial

What if the most environmentally friendly thing you ever do happens after you die? In this episode of Dying to Know More, we talk with HK Lee, founder of Aeon Woods Conservation Cemetery, about her mission to create the first conservation natural burial cemetery in New York's Hudson Valley. She explains how natural burial differs from traditional burial and cremation, why abandoned cemeteries may hold unexpected opportunities, and what it takes to protect hundreds of acres of land while creating meaningful spaces for remembrance. From a family history stretching back 30 generations in South Korea to a bold vision for the future of death care here in the United States, HK shares why she believes conservation burial isn't just about how we die, but how we care for the world we leave behind. If you've ever wondered whether our final resting place can benefit both people and the planet, this conversation is for you.
