Natural / Green Burial Options

Affordable, Natural & Eco Friendly $4595.00

We offer Natural / Green Burial Options as another alternative to traditional burial.  By providing Natural / Green Burials services we make it possible for families to care for the Earth, as we care for their loved ones. Religious groups like the Jewish, and Quaker communities continue to bury their loved ones usually without the embalming process.

In life, if a person has been committed to caring for our environment, selecting a Natural/Green Burial could be viewed as an accepted extension of how one had lived their life here on earth.

Services can be arranged to be held at our funeral home, selected place of worship, at home or graveside in a vault free burial site.

If you already own grave space or would prefer the burial to take place in another cemetery, we can still provide a green burial. If the cemetery requires the use of a concrete vault, we can provide one that allows direct contact with the earth.
