We are a 501C3 non-profit dedicated to the revival of historic and forgotten cemeteries, turning them into native plant and wildlife havens as a way of honoring ancestors and reconnecting everyone to an authentic sense of place.

The Constellation of Living Memorials (CLM) addresses climate adaptation, environmental justice, human health, biodiversity conservation, and equity.

CLM is a tapestry of bridging the gap between humanity and nature. It is a constellation of interwoven landscapes, connecting the heart of cities to its rural environs and even to oceans.

In a country where more than 85% of Americans are urbanites, the CLM creates an opportunity to reverse nature deficit disorder for all.

A two-year pilot was launched in November 2023, and a number of historic cemeteries in underserved Dallas Communities have committed to participate in the rigorous program. As per the Dallas 2024 Health Equity Index, neighborhood health statistics surrounding each cemetery are:
