Green Funerals
A growing environmental awareness is leading many to consider the green credentials of their end-of-life decisions. As a company whose origin includes climate change within its founding principles, we are more than happy to work with you in these aims and to brainstorm innovation in this area. We are an organisational member of the Natural Death Advocacy Network.
*Please also note that Shrouded Cremation is currently becoming possible in NSW and we are associated with the pilot program.
Greening your funeral decisions can include:
Body care; our body care practice always incorporates organic and green products
Avoiding the energy usage of a mortuary by keeping your person at home
Choice of coffin; such as the Enviro raw pine, or many others on our coffins page
Using a shroud instead of a coffin; we have a range of locally-made eco-conscious shrouds
Natural burial; we work regularly with the Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery (as shown in image)
Using soft copy invitations and orders of service, or using recycled paper
BYO home-grown flowers or using our sustainable funeral florist
Nominating environmental charities for donation in lieu of flowers
Our services are fully customisable rather than packages; below is a low-end sample costing for ease of consideration only:
