In this podcast we look at the increased demand for low-budget funerals and direct cremations, speaking to celebrant Louise C. Smith about the variety of options available to those planning a funeral ceremony. We also look at the options and benefits of outdoor funerals and life celebration services for those who would like to be closer to nature when they die or say goodbye. 

Brought to you by the Natural Burial Alliance (NBA), the Dying to Go Green Podcast explores various elements of natural burial and green funeral practices, guiding and inspiring those who may like to consider this option for themselves or their loved ones.

As an alliance of natural burial and green funeral professionals, NBA members are united in the common purpose of promoting greener funeral practices across the UK. Our membership scheme focuses on education, continuing professional development, raising awareness of natural burial and encouraging greener funeral practices across the board. We also list UK natural burial grounds and green funeral suppliers on the Dying to Go Green directory to help with your eco funeral planning.
