The Global Green Burial Alliance is a network of eco-friendly funeral professionals. The GGBA is a free membership pledge organization. The GGBA’s mission is to promote and provide critical information and education concerning any and all eco-friendly funeral options globally.
Embracing knowledge equals change. A global conversation is needed so ideas and customs can be shared. These ideas, cultural rites, and practices allow for critical growth. By joining, you can help bring better deathcare to the world as a community.
Members can enjoy networking and social media platforms to engage in free discussions between consumers, communities, and funeral professionals. The truth of processes and products, transparency, and respectful engagement and communication are key to enacting positive changes.
The GGBA is building a network of experiences and education free to all who challenge themselves to be a part of this change.

Spotlight Now is a place for funeral professionals to share their experiences with eco-friendly funerals. The purpose of the platform is to educate and advocate; each week covers a different topic, featuring special guests from around the world. In this week's episode, special guest Michael Kaufman-Schofield talks about Hickory Nut Farmstead, her small family business that specializes in handcrafted, all-natural caskets, burial trays, and urns.
Each month, the Global Green Burial Alliance hosts a free forum with a special panel of eco-friendly funeral experts. Subjects range from funeral practices around the world to the latest eco-friendly funeral technologies. The purpose of this space is to create open conversations between providers and consumers. Everyone is welcome and invited; forums occur second or third Thursday of each month.
Each month, the Global Green Burial Alliance hosts a monthly livestream with a special guest from the eco-friendly funeral movement as part of its "Ask an Expert" interview series. Hosted by founder Ed Bixby, these 30-minute information sessions allow viewers to receive live answers to any and all questions that they may have about eco-friendly funeral services, options, products, and more.
