What is a greener funeral?

To date, it’s been difficult for people to grasp what a green funeral is, exactly. For some, it’s a wicker coffin and a woodland burial. For others, it’s simply the decision not to have flowers at the funeral.

Who really knows the answer? Who can help with this information?

While it's easy to understand why confusion reigns, the most important thing is to work towards funerals with lower carbon emissions. Greener funerals.

Greener Goodbyes is a service that makes having a greener funeral a lot easier. It enables you to make simple choices among a clear set of options and have the greener funeral you want.

  • Choose from a small range of eco-coffins
  • Arrange a natural memorial by planting, donating or sponsoring a tree.
  • Ensure a greener funeral by converting the financial value of a typical funeral's carbon emissions into greater energy efficiency - a positive community legacy.

With Greener Goodbyes, there are no complicated choices or calculations. All that’s needed is your wish for a greener funeral.
