Natural Burial in The U.S.A.

Proposed

The mission of Green Burial Pittsburgh is

1.  To promote natural burial to current and future Pittsburgh area funeral consumers as an environmentally friendly, low-cost alternative to conventional burial practices or cremation,

2.    To establish woodland ‘green cemeteries’ in or near Pittsburgh that offer natural burial exclusively to funeral consumers, and

3.    To locate those ‘green cemeteries’ in designated conservation burial grounds and use a portion of cemetery income to help conserve land and restore it to its natural condition and to purchase additional land for conservation.
