The Green Burial Council

The Green Burial Council is a nonprofit organization promoting environmentally sustainable burial practices. It advocates for methods that conserve natural resources, reduce harmful chemicals, and support ecological balance, such as biodegradable caskets, natural burials, and preservation of native landscapes. The goal is to minimize the environmental impact of end-of-life arrangements while enabling a meaningful, natural return to the earth. By certifying cemeteries and products that meet these standards, the Green Burial Council helps families choose eco-friendly options that align with conservation values and promote sustainability.
