Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Our mission is to inspire and advocate for environmentally sustainable, natural death care through education and certification
 
Our vision is to ensure universal access to information and environmentally sustainable death care
 
Our values include:
  • Respect for rituals that create meaning for both the living and the dead
  • Honor the earth and recognize the importance of caring for her in how we bury our dead
  • Honor that funeral and burial traditions and practices are sacred
  • Integrity in all aspects of our operation by holding ourselves to the highest standards
  • Sustainability both environmentally and operationally so that future generations may benefit from our work
  • Leadership in making certifiable, sustainable death-care practices available to all
