GREEN BURIAL SERVICES

Our establishment is one of a select number of funeral homes who meet the criteria for providing green funeral service by the Green Burial Council; a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization working to encourage environmentally sustainability in the field of funeral service.  These offerings allow for a funeral to take place without the use of toxic and non-biodegradable materials/chemicals.  Caskets and shrouds are made available to enclose and transport the dead.  Body preparation suitable for a green funeral service accommodated by this funeral home consists of refrigeration, the use of topical sprays/compounds, or arterial embalming with essential oils.  Home wakes, public visitations, church funerals and graveside services are options that may be arranged within the time frame that a green funeral allows.
