GBC Provider Membership Benefits

The Green Burial Council logo displayed by GBC-certified cemeteries, funeral homes and product providers attests to an organization’s commitment to the environment, promoting sustainable practices and preserving and stewarding land. The Green Burial Council is a nonprofit staffed almost entirely by volunteers. Fees support GBC’s operations and efforts to increase interest and demand for green burial alternatives. Read Why Certification Matters for more information.
 
GBC-certified members enjoy the following benefits:
  • GBC certification logo for use on marketing materials, website, etc.
  • Initial certification featured in GBC’s Newsletter distributed monthly to more than 5,000 recipients
  • Listing with weblink on the GBC website along with a locator pin and popup on the GBC’s interactive provider maps. The GBC website attracts an average of 10,000 page-views monthly and is often the first stop for consumers searching for environmentally sustainable options.
