Crestone End of Life Project (CEOLP) is a non-profit 501.C13 community service organization, initiated to serve community members’ end of life wishes. In Crestone, Colorado there began in 1998 a growing trend of private open-air cremations.  As demographics changed, issues of legality and environmental safety were of concern, such that it seemed appropriate to establish a simple but permanent ecumenical open-air cremation site.
