Statement:
Ellen Macdonald runs and owns a Natural Burial Park, by opening this option to the community she intented to slowly tear down the huge wall American culture has facing and dealing with death.
When I met Ellen I thought I was going to make a story about her life and her park, it wasn't until our conversation went further that I realized the true direction of this short essay.
