Green Burial

If you are environmentally conscious, this may be the perfect choice to ensure your core values will be honored, even in death.

With absolutely no embalming, manufactured caskets, or concrete vaults, our natural burial process ensures you will return to the elements as naturally as possible. You can be interred in a shroud, quilt, blanket, or a biodegradable & sustainably grown casket.

You may choose to have a service here at our funeral home, a celebration of life at the graveside or even in your own home. Many churches are also welcoming to green funerals, if a religious service is your preference.

Even if you or your family already own an existing plot in a local cemetery, we can help you create a greener, more spiritually fulfilling funeral service that follows your wishes and values. Reach out to us for our expertise in creating a profound memorial for your loved one.
