Community-Owned Natural Burial Grounds
Traditional funeral costs continue to be unaffordable. Join a nationwide movement to establish private community-owned natural burial grounds that preserve land, eliminates profit, and gives every family a place to rest in peace.
Why This Matters
Funerals Shouldn’t Create Financial Hardship
70% of families face unaffordable expenses when planning end-of-life arrangements after a loss. At the same time, more people are seeking simpler, more natural burial options that align with their values.
We believe communities can work together to create affordable, sustainable alternatives that serve families for generations.
How It Works
1. Join
Sign to Support the mission and become part of a growing national network.
2. Build
Members work together to identify and secure land for natural burial grounds.
3. Preserve
Burial grounds protect green spaces and provide lasting community value.
4. Serve
Families gain access to affordable, environmentally conscious burial options through a one-time $100 membership.
