Helping to create a greener goodbye

Who We Are

The AGFD is a non-profit making organisation aiming to bring natural eco-friendly funerals into the mainstream.

The essence of a green funeral is simplicity. It rejects the idea of the traditional style funeral in favour of something with a more natural feel. Burials are often in an unspoilt landscape rather than a conventional cemetery and it rejects the more artificial elements associated with funerals such as lacquered coffins with brass handles, strict ceremonies and embalming.

It's the idea of caring for the deceased with a minimal impact on the environment. For people observing certain religious traditions, a green burial may also be a way to meet the requirements of the religious law in a modern world. However not all of these ideas have to be used and certain elements alone can work within a traditional funeral service too - for example choosing a willow coffin. The choice is yours. 



Our Purpose

To help members of the public find funeral directors in their area
who are able to provide greener options in the funerals they carry out.

To make sure all funeral directors have clear accurate pricing information on display.

To encourage funeral directors to become more green-minded in all aspects of their work and support them to create beautiful eco-friendly and reasonably priced funerals.

To help promote natural burial grounds and their locations when required.

To allow members of the public to have as much or as little involvement as they would like but ultimately creating the type of order they want.
