Fundraising for authentic Green Burial in México

On Wednesday, May 18, 2022, Fundación EKR México Centro, with headquarters in San Miguel de Allende, was able to carry out the first authentically green burial in Mexico⁠—not counting the burials of our ancestors⁠— and make the last wish of Vicki Stehn (1940 – 2022) come true, which with her enthusiastic encouragement and determined permission we pledged to share. Vicki, friend and mentor, has left us with the commitment and responsibility to ensure that green burial is accessible to all across Mexico and leave a conscious, loving legacy for future generations.

Join Fundación Elisabeth Kübler-Ross México Centro and help make history in San Miguel de Allende, ensuring a truly valuable legacy of life for generations to come.

As part of Fundacion Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Mexico Centro’s 3rd Anniversary celebrations, in conjunction with fundraising efforts for Green Burial options in San Miguel de Allende and across Mexico, and with the generous support of individuals, businesses, organizations, artists, and private collectors, Fundación EKR Mexico Centro has planned several consciousness raising events for our community.
