Overseas Organisations
If you would like more information about other organizations involved in natural death practices and green burial visit:
The Natural Death Centre, UK
The Natural Death Centre is a charitable project launched in Britain in 1991. It aims to support those dying at home and their carers, and to help people arrange inexpensive, family-organized, and environmentally-friendly funerals. It has a more general aim of helping to improve the quality of dying.
Green Burial Council
The Green Burial Council (formerly the Center for Ethical Burial) is a nonprofit organization founded to educate the public about opportunities for using the burial process to encourage sustainability among cemeteries and funeral providers, to facilitate legitimate landscape level conservation efforts, and to bring about practices that are transparent, fair, and honest.
Ramsey Creek Preserve
Memorial Ecosystems Inc. opened Ramsey Creek preserve in 1996, the first “green cemetery” in the United States. The preserve was formed to harness the funeral industry for land protection and restoration, to fund non-profits, education, the arts and scientific research, and to provide a less expensive and more meaningful burial option.
