Green Burial Services
Green Services
Regard for the environment and a stewardship of nature is a growing concern for many people. The chemical and containers used in modern funerals have left some folks searching for a more natural solution. We hear your concerns and are exploring more green solutions to balance a meaningful service with eco-friendly choices.
Natural Burial Grounds
Because of cemetery requirement it is often hard to find a location that allows the green burial you may want. We are fortunate to have a natural burial conservation site within minutes of our locations in Springfield and Yellow Springs . This allows for individuals to be returned to nature in the most environmentally friendly way possible, in an all-natural material casket, urn or shroud. Traditional services may still occur with green burials, however, if you choose not to use embalming, a visitation is still possible, and options would need to be discussed with the funeral home.
“The conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail us little to solve all others.”
