Mandate:
Green Burial Ottawa Valley is an incorporated not-for-profit co-op that advocates for wider access to green burial through Community based initiatives and education.
Goals:
- Build public awareness of and demand for natural burial.
- Encourage local existing funeral services and cemeteries to offer access to natural burial and associated services.
- Encourage local community-based deathcare initiatives.
- Democratize knowledge gained by GBOV members, to encourage the establishment of other natural burial sites, hybrid or dedicated, through information sessions, and GBOV website.
To be clear:
We are ardent advocates for community-based deathcare
HOWEVER:
We do not provide funeral services.
We do not own or operate a cemetery.
We are not celebrants.
We are not an emergency service.
If you are in immediate need, please contact a funeral home in your local area, letting them know you want a green burial.
Green Burial Ottawa Valley was incorporated as a non-profit co-operative in 2019.
