Natural/Green Burial Cemetery in Mosier, Oregon, Overlooking the Pacific Northwest’s Scenic Columbia River Gorge
Circle of Life
Great River is a place that connects people and nature on all points of the circle of life, not just the point of passing. It is a setting for rituals and ceremonies that honor and celebrate life’s milestones, as well as a place for embracing the rhythms of nature and its seasons, whether through a hike, picnic or relaxing. Great River is not just a peaceful, final resting place, it is also a place where children—young and old—play, discover, and are inspired to wonder and learn.
The natural beauty and tranquility of Great River make it a place people want to visit, not just in times of sorrow, but also to return to in moments of reflection and celebration, embracing life affirming activities at every point in the circle of life.
