Back to Ground Resource Guide

Iowa has no existing dedicated natural or conservation burial cemetery.

 Back to Ground seeks to create a meaningful legacy that honors both the lives of those interred and the land that sustains us all. 

Our commitment is to the preservation of natural habitats, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship for future generations.

We are dedicated to maintaining a peaceful, respectful space for conservation and remembrance.

Let us come together to honor the Earth and recognize the importance of caring for her in how we bury our dead.
