Mission
Make Funerals Affordable for Every Family.
HOW- Reach the 70% of people who do not have a funeral plan that want to return to simple and traditional ways of caring for the departed. We want funerals to be accessible for all and kind to the planet. By resuming our ancestors traditions of crowd-funding land and returning to family-led services at the home, church, or graveside families can cut their own costs and essentially make their funerals free.
Join us to secure space in your states first member-owned $100 truly nonprofit, natural cemetery.
This is how to tame a 20 BILLION DOLLAR industry chokehold with $100 and a shovel.
Project Summary
We help communities assemble to crowd-purchase and steward green, natural, regenerating nonprofit private cemeteries that every family can afford. We reteach our ancestors’ traditions of crowd-funded land, home/church/graveside services that families lead, eliminating costs. A one-time $100 membership funds land to allow families to afford respectful, earth-friendly burials again. We do not charge to help communities assemble. Together we move mountains.
Project Impact
One acre serves 3,500 people—500 full burials and 2,000–5,000 cremated remains.
3,500 people with $100 raises $350,000.
500 people save $7,000,000 and 3,000 people with cremated remains save $6,000,000.
One acre saves 3,500 families $13,000,000 off traditional funerals and burials—cremation costs not factored.
Average cremation and service costs $6,200.
Average direct cremation $2,000.
Average funeral service with full body and burial $14,000.
Green burial space average $5,000.
Probate court is $3,000–$10,000.
Most Americans don’t have $500 for an emergency.
This leaves families draining their savings, forced into debt, forced into cremation, or indigent burial.
Project Need
Planning your $100 funeral—arranging for your brother, cousin, or friend to drive you in his pickup truck, your sisters wrapping you in your old nana’s quilt, and many of your society members, friends, and neighbors bringing a shovel to dig your last hole and share a potluck dinner in peace—is priceless. The lack of money will no longer dictate how we are laid to rest.

If you have any concerns about the legitimacy of this project, I welcome all comments and questions in any public forum.
