Emily Miller

Licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer, Founder of GBC-certified cemetery Colorado Burial Preserve

Emily B. Miller is a licensed funeral director, embalmer and founder of Colorado’s first environmental Burial Preserve. Emily was working as a funeral home manager when she perceived a need in the market for a different type of cemetery with a native habitat mission. Opening a cemetery also opened a dialogue between the community and funeral service providers about what these services should look like, and Emily now advocates for a greener industry through education and outreach. She also volunteers on the Board of Directors of the Green Burial Council in the role of assisting funeral homes through the certification process, hearing perspectives from participating funeral service providers across the United States and Canada.
