End Cremation is a division of NASCK (National Association of Chevra Kadisha), based in the United States. Its mission is to encourage and facilitate kevurah among Jews, particularly in response to the increasing trend of cremation. The organization provides resources and guidance to help individuals and communities promote traditional Jewish burial practices.

One of their key initiatives is "The Workshop," a program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to advocate for kevurah within their communities. These workshops are available for communities across North America, including areas like Lakewood, New Jersey, and Lincoln, Nebraska. The program aims to empower individuals to start conversations and provide support to those considering end-of-life decisions.

End Cremation also offers practical resources to ensure one's burial wishes are documented and respected. This includes a simple "My Burial Wishes Note" for informal expression and a legally-binding "My Burial Wishes Document" tailored to U.S. and Canadian legal requirements. These tools are designed to help individuals clearly communicate their preferences for kevurah to family members and legal representatives.

Additionally, the organization provides educational materials and shareable content to raise awareness about the importance of traditional Jewish burial. Through its sister sites, such as Last Kindness and Peaceful Return, End Cremation extends its outreach to the broader Jewish community, offering resources in multiple languages and formats to support informed decision-making regarding end-of-life practices.
