Welcome to Northern Pyre.

Northern Pyre is a 501(c)(13) dedicated to creating the first outdoor funeral pyre in Minnesota.

The act of burning a body to ashes on a pyre has been a cultural tradition for thousands of years, and is a respectful way to honor and grieve our loved ones. We want this included as a funeral rite option, open to anyone.

Please note: We are not currently able to register open-air cremations. If you’re new to our website, the FAQ is a great place to start learning about us.
