Planning an Environmentally Friendly Funeral

sustainable & Eco-friendly

Many people express a desire to ensure that their care for the environment should continue after their passing.

 

Environmentally-Friendly Funerals

There are many things that can be incorporated into a funeral to ensure that it is as environmentally friendly as possible.

These include:

  • Choosing a coffin that is produced using a sustainably sourced material that is fully biodegradable.

  • Choosing a natural burial ground.

  • Choosing not to embalm your loved one’s remains.

  • Asking mourners to make a donation to charity in lieu of flowers.

  • Printing Mass Booklets/Orders of Service on recycled paper.

  • If providing hospitality, ask the caterers/venue to refrain from using single-use plastic.

If you would like to honour the life of your loved one with an environmentally friendly funeral, please let us know and we can discuss how the arrangements put in place will make the least possible impact on the environment. 

We are here to help you take care of every detail.
