The Honey Creek Woodlands (HCW) is a conservation burial ground for all faiths on the grounds of the 2,100-acre Monastery of the Holy Spirit near Conyers, Georgia, 20 miles from downtown Atlanta. It is a part of the Mount Arabia Heritage Area, an 8,000-acre greenway that stretches along the South River from Mount Arabia Nature Preserve and Panola Mountain State Park in the northwest to the monastery in the southeast. Currently, almost 1,000 acres of the monastery is under permanent protection. Honey Creek Woodlands is owned and operated by the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, who is assisted by Memorial Ecosystems, Inc, founders of the nation’s first conservation burial ground, the Ramsey Creek Preserve in South Carolina. The HCW offers spaces for simple, traditional, natural burial as well as spaces for cremated remains. The total funeral expense using simple burial at the HCW is generally less than half that of a contemporary funeral
