​
What are Eco-Funerals?
​
Eco-funerals, also known as green funerals or natural burials, prioritise environmental sustainability. These ceremonies often involve minimal or no embalming, biodegradable caskets or shrouds, and natural burial grounds.
Why Choose an Eco-Funeral?
Environmental Impact:
Eco-funerals reduce the harmful chemicals associated with traditional embalming and burial practices.
Natural Setting:
Natural burial grounds often offer peaceful and serene environments, providing a more connected experience with nature.
Cost-Effective:
In many cases, eco-funerals can be more affordable than traditional services.
