How To Choose Green Burial Products

Understanding Green Burials

Green burials, also known as natural burials, are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial practices. They avoid embalming chemicals and use biodegradable materials that naturally decompose.

Choosing the Right Urn

Water Cremation Urns

Designed to dissolve in water, perfect for ocean or lake ceremonies. Our water urns float briefly before gently sinking and dissolving within hours.

Earth Burial Urns

Made from natural materials like paper, salt, or plant fibers. These urns decompose within months when buried, returning ashes to the earth naturally.

Casket Selection Guide

• Woven Materials – Bamboo, seagrass, and willow caskets
• Size Considerations – Standard, oversized, and infant options
• Burial Site Requirements – Check with your cemetery for any restrictions
