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.

The 501(c)6 certification and provider support organization oversees certification conducted by independent third-party experts. This team works to maintain up-to-date standards for cemeteries, product providers, and funeral directors offering green services.

The 501(c)3 educational and outreach organization develops materials and opportunities for providers and the public to learn more about natural burial. These include writing articles and books, working with the media to increase public awareness, hosting webinars and conferences, presenting to industry professionals and the public, and creating educational opportunities for professional development.

The NHFA is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer organization that is the leading body of home after-death care support and education in the US. Created in 2010, our members come from all 50 states, five provinces, and seven countries. Many of us are home funeral guides who also identify as licensed funeral directors, ordained ministers, educators, body workers, licensed social workers, registered nurses, therapists and counselors, directors of nonprofits, attorneys and physicians. Many simply want to support the movement from institutionalized care back to family care of our own dead. The mission of the NHFA is to educate and empower families and communities to care for their own dead.

We Import, Market and Distribute Natural Burial Products - but above all, we network and educate... 

Founded in 2004 by former organic grocer Cynthia Beal, the Natural Burial Company began as a question: what would happen if we all buried ourselves naturally, and put our bodies back where we got them - from the soil, from the Earth itself? What would happen if we just "put our stuff back"?
