Mission
Make Funerals Affordable for Every Family.
We want to make funerals affordable — this is what’s in it for you, and why it matters. Most Americans don’t have $500 for an emergency. Families are draining their savings, forced into debt, forced into cremation, or indigent burial. Industry average funeral service with full body and burial is $14,000. Industry green burial space averages $5,000. Industry average cremation and service costs $6,200.
HOW- Do We Make Funerals Affordable for Every Family?
Reach 70 % of people who don’t have a funeral plan and want to return to simple and traditional ways of caring for the departed. Who wants funerals to be accessible for all and kind to the planet? By resuming our ancestors’ traditions of crowd-funding land and returning to family-led services at the home, church, or graveside, families can cut their own costs and essentially make their funerals free.
Who out there would help dig a grave for a family member or friend?
Is this legal and why?
YES. We are a member, donation, grant supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit — support is tax-deductible. EIN 92-1885562. We are free to form a cemetery on properly zoned land. We are free to have it surveyed for a cemetery and we are free to dig our own graves and care for our own loved ones. The Hosanna High Natural Burial Project does not charge for helping communities form natural burial cemeteries. If you have any concerns about the legitimacy of this project, we welcome all comments and questions in any public or private forum.
How to be involved and what am I signing? Signing now is free. No membership is due until land is available near you. You’ll get progress reports via email on next steps and news from the cemetery society. When 100 or more people in your area are gathered, a search for land will be pursued. When land is available, you will be invited to opt in for the one time $100 membership. This is a membership cemetery society, not a land investment, though the return on investment and peace of mind will be priceless.
SIGN THIS NATIONAL PETITION TO FORM A NONPROFIT CEMETERY NEAR YOU.
If you want to form and run a non-profit cemetery in your area, this is your start: find like minded people, donate or work to purchase properly zoned land, collect the $100 membership fee. Survey for a private natural burial cemetery. Help your neighbors at their time. Interested? Contact us.
Project Impact
One acre serves 3,500 people—500 Full Body Burials and 2,000–5,000 cremated remains.
3,500 people with $100 raises $350,000.
500 people (FBB) save $7,000,000 and 3,000 people with cremated remains save $6,000,000.
One acre 3,500 families save $13,000,000 off traditional funerals and burials—cremation done elsewhere and costs not factored.
Project Summary
Planning your hundred-dollar funeral—arranging for your family to drive, your sisters wrapping you in your nana’s old quilt, your society members, friends, and neighbors bringing a shovel to the cemetery society you joined, and a potluck dinner in peace—is priceless. The lack of money will no longer dictate how we are laid to rest.
We will no longer pollute the earth with toxic, forever-locking chemicals and substances. This allows regenerating graves, so a granddaughter may go where her grandmother was laid fifty years earlier. Instead of buying grave plots into eternity, a family can use the same land in cycles for eternity—eliminating the need for more cemetery land
