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.
