Natural Burial Association

The natural burial movement began in the 1990’s and has gained momentum as more people appreciate that their connection and responsibility to the earth does not need to stop at death.

In a simple wood or wicker casket, or wrapped in a shroud, we are buried naturally, contributing to the earth’s renewal. Natural burial grounds bear no resemblance to conventional cemeteries. Rather than manicured lawns with rows of tombstones, imagine a meadow or woodland, which is restored and protected in its natural ecosystem.

Natural burial also offers people an alternative to environmentally harmful cremation.
