Windy Knoll Memorial Sanctuary is Kentucky’s first natural/green burial cemetery. We are located in Anderson County, centrally located between Lexington and Louisville..

Natural burial lets our bodies return to the earth and decompose naturally. We will avoid toxic chemicals, concrete vaults, and metal coffins. We will use low-lying grave markers and aim to maintain the cemetery as a native prairie. People visiting our grave sites will feel that they’re in a natural Kentucky meadow.

Family and friends will be welcome to take part in as much of the burial process as they wish. They will be invited to carry and lower the body into the grave, to help gather wildflowers for bouquets, and even to help refill the grave. This participation can provide much-needed closure. We will assist and advise as much as needed.  

We are a non-profit cemetery, and we are excited about working toward a full opening. We are currently seeking community involvement, donors, and volunteers.
