A Personalised Green Funeral Service
Just like a traditional service, an eco funeral can be held at a place of worship, a natural burial ground, or another suitable location, such as wildflower meadows, protected woodland and parkland, which can also be pleasant locations to commemorate a loved one. Families may choose to include readings, music, or personal tributes, making the day unique to the individual being remembered.
Eco funerals often use biodegradable coffins made from natural materials such as wicker, bamboo, or sustainably sourced wood. Flowers can be selected from local growers, and many families choose to plant a tree or create a living memorial as part of the farewell. Our role as green funeral directors is to help guide you through these choices, ensuring the ceremony is both personal and environmentally conscious.
If you choose a natural burial, we can arrange interment at one of the dedicated green burial cemeteries in the region. These serene, natural landscapes are designed to return the body to the earth in the most gentle way, offering a peaceful final resting place that supports local wildlife and preserves the environment for future generations.
Why Choose an Eco Friendly Funeral?
There are many reasons families choose eco-friendly funerals:
- They reduce environmental impact by avoiding embalming chemicals and using biodegradable materials.
- They take place in natural settings, creating a lasting connection with nature.
- They can be more affordable than traditional funerals.
- They provide a simple, heartfelt way to honour a life while reflecting values of sustainability and care.
An eco friendly funeral can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. Some families prefer a quiet, private gathering, while others hold a more traditional service before the burial or cremation. Whatever your preference, we will work closely with you to ensure everything is carried out with dignity and respect.
