The Green Burial Council requires that its certified conservation burial grounds engage in
both restoration planning and stewardship. Our Natural Burial Grounds are required
to have in place a deed restriction to ensure that a green cemetery now remains one in the future.
GBC Conservation Burial Grounds are required to have a conservation easement held
by an established land trust. The key to success we believe is in requiring transparency
and accountability, and a system of checks and balances.
