TO PROVIDE low-cost and free counseling, support and funeral services to those in need and to insure that no one need die alone.

TO OFFER TRAININGS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: Preparing For Death; Caring For The Dying And Their Families; Showing Up For What's Dying In The World.

TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE LAND utilizing a green burial ground as an economic engine to maintain and protect land as public commons where life and death interweave in healthy community life.​

“To change our culture, to change our lives,
requires the transformation of consciousness,
and few things shift consciousness as quickly
​as an awareness of death.”
​- Reverend Bodhi Be
