Fernwood's history extends back into the late 1800's when it served as a cemetery for early pioneers and dairy farmers. Today, it offers funeral home and cremation services beside the cemetery. A unique service performed here is a natural burial. Those buried in this fashion are placed in either a biodegradable casket or burial shroud. Each grave is marked only by its natural surroundings, such as trees, rocks and wildflowers, and GPS coordinates are obtained so loved ones can locate the graves again.
The gates to Fernwood are always open. Access to visitors is permitted 24 hours daily. Fernwood is located in the Tennessee Valley area of Mill Valley near Shoreline Highway.
