California Green Burial Association

The California Green Burial Association (CGBA) is a non-profit organization that promotes environmentally friendly burial practices. It advocates for natural burials that avoid chemicals, embalming, heavy caskets, and concrete vaults, allowing bodies to decompose naturally and return to the earth. The CGBA supports options like biodegradable caskets and natural burial grounds, reducing the environmental impact of traditional funeral methods. Their goal is to provide sustainable, respectful alternatives that conserve land, water, and resources, while fostering a connection to nature and supporting personal and ecological well-being.
