Our Mission

Our Mission

The Conservation Burial Alliance a collaborative of conservation burial grounds and invested allies that fosters the conservation and sustainable management of land with natural burial for the benefit of people and the planet.

Our Vision

  • We envision conservation burial becoming a preferred choice for burial as we educate people about its environmental, psychological and economic benefits.
  • We work within social and ecological spaces to engage people in community through a shared commitment to leaving an environmental legacy.
  • We believe that natural burial is a viable strategy for conserving intrinsically valuable land and restoring depleted landscapes while improving ecological health and promoting sustainable climate change mitigation.

Our Values

  • We value social and ecological spaces that sustain us and sustain the planet.
  • We value the protection of land with conservation value for the benefit of all.
  • We value the restoration of depleted land to ecological health.
  • We value opportunities for meaningful engagement with the cycle of life through activities that affirm our connection to nature.
  • We value natural burial as a choice that connects grieving people with nature at a profound moment.
  • We value conservation burial for providing the environmental benefits of clean air, healthy natural habitats, carbon sequestration, and climate change mitigation.

Our Purpose

  • to facilitate wide public understanding of what conservation burial is;
  • to provide meaningful ways to interact with the natural burial and conservation communities;
  • to create and provide best practices for conservation burial;
  • to educate professionals and the public about conservation burial; and
  • to facilitate cooperative strategies and programs that help to make conservation burial a choice that is accessible to as broad a segment of people as possible.
Conservation is a cause that has no end.
​There is no point at which we will say our work is finished.
