ECO-FRIENDLY GREEN BURIALS
This unique option is an excellent choice for those who embrace the environment, wish to minimize their carbon footprint and leave the world in a gentle way making a positive statement. A green burial promotes the growth of native foliage and bringing forth new life. In this way, the end of a life beautifully gives way to the beginning of another.
Green burials do not include embalming or any other preparation process. The body is simply placed in an eco-friendly casket, made from biodegradable materials such as bamboo and seaweed. Nature takes its course and no harsh substances are released into the ground. A green burial isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s economical and affordable.
If you have spent your life protecting the environment, let your final choice reflect this personal philosophy.
***Please note: We are honored to offer this unique and earth friendly option, but it is ultimately up to the cemetery that you've selected as to whether they will allow green burials. Most cemeteries in the North Pocono area require an outer burial container (a burial vault), eliminating the eco-friendly option.
