About Us
Established in 2009, the Association of Green Funeral Directors has four main objectives.
To enable funeral directors (FD's) to better position themselves to attract the increasing numbers of people seeking green products and services whilst adopting more green practices in more aspects of their work.
To help members of the public find funeral homes in their area which are willing to provide more sustainable and
eco-friendly options in the funerals they carry out.
To encourage and reward innovative green working practices within the funeral industry.
To hold the yearly Good Funeral Awards which recognizes all those in the industry who are offering the best service and/or products to their customers. The first awards ceremony was held in 2019 and has now become a major industry awards ceremony alongside a bi-annual exhibition.
A dedicated team and members, to assist you with any questions you may have about the funeral industry.
