🍃 This Wednesday, August 26 at 7 PM! 🍃

Laura Faessel and Deanna Mance are this month’s speakers for Green Burial Council FREE webinar!

This webinar explores how intentional programming and community engagement, ranging from workshops and land-based gatherings to partnerships with local organizations, support the families we serve, deepen connection to the land, and build lasting trust. We’ll share how these efforts not only demystify death and expand awareness of green burial, but also cultivate belonging, sustainability, and long-term support for the mission of natural end of life care.

To learn more and sign up for the webinar please visit the Green Burial Council.
