Midcoast Maine Green Burial (MMGB) is a local, grass-roots volunteer organization formed to promote the creation of a green burial cemetery in Knox, Waldo or Lincoln County, Maine.


​We intend to do this through education and advocacy while sharing our enthusiasm and information with our communities.

The Essence of Green Burial

Natural burial is more than just a disposition option; it's a choice that can resonate with the life and values you have lived if you have cared for Mother Nature as she has cared for you throughout your lifetime. Without artifice or waste, body to earth burial is a one-step, complete act that sequesters carbon, nurtures the microbial soil community, and contributes to the future of a sustainable planet for all. Burial on protected land is a gift for all eternity. Learn more about green burial.
