BBC South Today - Burials Feature with Alexis Green featuring the Environmental Stewardship Group, Memoria and The CDS Group.

The CDS Group helped to support an article published by BBC South Today on the Environmental Impact of the bereavement sector and the challenges faced in leading the sector towards sustainability. We were delighted to see that a historically 'taboo' subject had made it into the light and we hope this can be the catalyst for real change in the sector.
