A quieter place
Sòlas Natural Burial Preserve
Twenty acres on Oncken Road in the Community of Bishops Bay, kept as meadow and woods.
The land was donated to the Wisconsin Foundation, and the Foundation created the preserve. The rules are simple and absolute: no plastics and no metals. Burial is in linen or an all-wood casket. A shelter has been built on the grounds.
The caskets are made by the Trappist monks of New Melleray Abbey in Dubuque, Iowa, who designed an all-natural casket for the preserve - rope handles, wooden pegs, no metal and no glue.

Sòlas is a nonprofit; plots carry a cost that sustains the preserve.
