more than just music
Hello Hannah – I have records of 74 NBGs in the USA and five in Canada. I believe this is up to date although new ones are opening all of the time. This dooes not include the indigenous population who I believe practice recognisably natural burials in some sites.
The first article says 150; perhaps I’m behind the times
Thank you for these figures Ian. They sound about right given what I knew of the NBG movement in the USA and Canada 3 years ago.
