Green Burial is gaining widespread
interest, fueled by environmentalism and a desire to accept death as a natural process in our “return to earth.” Of course, these “innovations” are really just a return to the old ways, before the introduction of man-made products and processes gave rise to the modern funeral industry. Currently, individuals or families who desire to “go green” are often confronted by regional shortages of suitable products and other resources.
The website of the Green Burial Council is a wonderful guide to green-burial resources around the U.S. It features links to funeral homes, cemeteries, and products such as shrouds, urns, coffins and caskets, all of which have been certified to meet the high standards of the GBC. Our caskets are available for any type of end-of-life celebration, but we hope to encourage openness to greener ideals in death care.
