Natural burial at Moravian High Acres Cemetery is a way to preserve Pocono Mountain heritage. The site dates back to 1848 and has been an important part of the history of the area since.

It is located in Canadensis in Barrett Township in northern Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The unusual name can be attributed to the scientific name for the eastern hemlock tree, Tsugas Canadensis.

The area later became a favored destination for Philadelphians seeking a peaceful rural retreat.

Preserving the area’s flora and fauna

The Moravian High Acres Cemetery is home to the Alpine Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary. Its mission is to preserve and protect these precious and beautiful surroundings through natural burial.
