The Green Burial Council (GBC), the nonprofit organization that sets the standard for environmentally responsible death care in North America, has launched a newly redesigned website built to meet the needs of our rapidly-evolving industry and a public increasingly seeking green burial options.
As demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional burial and cremation accelerates, GBC’s new website provides an improved, user-friendly hub for certification, education, and connection. As more families prioritize environmental values in all aspects of life and death, the demand for green burial is reaching a tipping point.
“Green burial is no longer a fringe interest. When asked, the public consistently and overwhelmingly expresses interest in going green.” said Darren Crouch, Co-President of the GBC. “This sophisticated new website has been a lot of work and positions us and our providers with the information and tools to meet this demand professionally and with authority.”
Key features of the new website include a streamlined redesign catered to the public and industry professionals, a fully updated interactive provider map that allows users to locate GBC-certified providers in seconds, and streamlined certification pathways for funeral homes, cemeteries, and product providers to become GBC-Certified.
Professionals across the death care sector are encouraged to explore the new website, ensure their listings are up to date, and take advantage of the updated value of GBC certification.
