Landscaping in cemeteries is transforming.
In this article Samuel Holleran, Death Tech Team Member and recent PhD graduate, discusses how changing cultural values, towards biodiversity and sustainability for example, influence the changes in cemetery landscaping decisions like Project Cultivate in the Melbourne General Cemetery.
