Pip Podcast #43 - Fiona McCuiag - Natural Burials

Pip Permaculture Podcast

This episode explores a thought provoking topic, something we often don’t talk about; death and what we do with our bodies after we die. I travelled to Bodalla on the NSW south coast to talk with Fiona McCuiag, from Walawaani Way Conservation Burial. She offers people the option to be buried in a way that is giving back to the environment and allowing our bodies to go back to the earth. This is a beautiful episode that explores the taboos around talking about death, the ritual of a natural burial, the regeneration process, and what the future holds for Fiona and Walawanni Way. We also go into how natural burials honour our loved ones, and nurture the earth. If you would like to read more about Fiona and regenerative natural burials, you can find the full story with photos here: https://grow.pipmagazine.com.au/fiona-mccuaig-natural-regenerative-burial/ You can contact Fiona through her website and earn more about what she offers here: https://www.walawaaniway.com/ We like to honour the traditional owners of the land on which the podcast was recorded who are the Walbunja people of the Yuin nation. I would like to pay my respects to the elders past and present and any who are listening today.
