The Natural Death Centre is a charitable project launched in Britain in 1991. It aims to support those dying at home and their carers, and to help people arrange inexpensive, family-organised, and environmentally-friendly funerals. It has a more general aim of helping to improve the quality of dying.

Produces the Natural Death Handbook which provides a wealth of information, not only about funerals and how to organise them in a personal and meaningful way. It has lots of information on how to provide practical care at home, it contains a set of forms which are very useful, including a Living Will. And it has all the information about organising an environmentally friendly funeral and natural burial with or without the help of a funeral director.
