What specific legal obstacles are standing in the way of green burial cemetery development? How can we as advocates locate and understand them to be able to create a consistent approach to effecting change in state and local laws? We will use this time to share what we each find in our states and towns with an eye to determining what basics need to be addressed to enable more green burial cemeteries.

Here's How It Works

We will supply a link to the Zoom Video Conference call to those who register to attend. Each call will start with a moderator greeting participants to get the ball rolling. The call is open to anyone wishing to attend. It's that simple!

Simple rules make for smooth calls where everyone is heard. Here are a few:
  1. Keep yourself muted (lower left hand microphone icon) to keep background noise to a minimum
  2. Raise a hand to signal others that you would like to contribute
  3. Unmute yourself when you are ready to speak by clicking on the icon
  4. Speak clearly and respectfully at all times
  5. Share personal items, contact info, and other private things on the chat space provided
