Featured as the Cover Face of Global Leaders Views Magazine’s edition, “The Fearless Five: Global Climate Leaders Driving Real Change in 2026,” Darren Crouch represents a new generation of climate leaders who understand that sustainability is not limited to traditional environmental sectors.

Darren’s path toward sustainability began long before he entered the funeral profession. Growing up in Africa shaped his understanding of the natural world and the importance of respecting resources.

As President & CEO of Passages International, Darren continues to bring this perspective into the funeral profession, helping advance sustainable approaches that respect both people and the environment.

Through his leadership, Darren is helping shape a future where environmental responsibility, innovation, and compassion come together to redefine the concept of green funerals.
