In Great Britain, where the green burial movement was born in the early 1990s, more than 200 green cemeteries operate. The United States, meanwhile, boasts almost 20 cemeteries either in operation or under development; they include the 140-hectare Glendale Memorial Nature Preserve in Florida, which combines a green cemetery and conservation area. In Canada, by all accounts, nine people buried in officially green cemeteries. They're all in the one-eighth of a hectare dedicated to green burials at Royal Oak Burial Park in Victoria, B.C.

| Google News | Google Blogs | |
| Google News (Australian Focus) | Funeral Wire dot Com | Google Green Funerals |
The Index is intended to inform the public about members' cemeteries and operational standards. For example, funeral directors will see the index as useful resource, especially when they need to make bookings and work in "out of town" cemeteries. Members can get more information here.
