What is Green Burial?
Natural burial, also known as green burial, is an environmentally friendly way for the burial of a body. The body is returned to the earth in its most natural state. This old-fashioned way of doing things, which has been around for thousands of years until the late 1800s, does away with metal caskets, concrete vaults, and harmful embalming chemicals.
Green burial is a way to take care of the dead that has little effect on the environment. It helps to:
- Save natural resources
- Lower carbon emissions
- Restore and protect natural habitats
Our Green Burial Services
We are Pennsylvania's trusted green burial provider, and we offer a wide range of natural burial options that are customized to your family's needs. We make shrouds and caskets that are certified by the Green Burial Council. They are made from renewable Northeastern hardwoods and have no metal parts. They are also finished and glued with biodegradable materials.
We offer embalming that doesn't use formaldehyde, help with finding natural burial grounds, and green funerals that celebrate life and nature at the same time. We also offer green cremation services and can make green burials that are just right for your family's needs.
Green Burial Process
A natural burial is a simple and natural way to put the body back in the earth's soil. Natural burials are better for the environment because they don't use as much energy or resources as traditional burials. If you want a natural burial in a green cemetery, you can choose a casket that is naturally finished and made of biodegradable materials, or a simple shroud that is made of biodegradable, non-toxic materials that are harvested in a way that doesn't harm the environment.
Our caskets are approved by the Green Burial Council and are meant to make the funeral and burial process more environmentally friendly and focused on people. We do this by always thinking about how our products and practices affect the environment and paying close attention to our clients' ideas for meaningful ceremonies.
