HK Lee had a stable full-time job when she came across an article in National Geographic about a “natural burial” cemetery in Texas. That led to a big career pivot.
In this week’s bonus episode, HK talks about what it’s like to be in the early planning stages of starting Aeon Woods, a large-scale green burial cemetery in upstate New York. She digs into the red tape, soil science, and the process of convincing local decision makers to green-light the project. She also discusses her family’s burial grounds in Korea, where 30 generations rest.
