How to Plan a Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Funeral Service

There is a growing importance in the current day and age to ensure that funerals are eco-friendly and sustainable. Whether it is the deceased who has left instructions for an eco-friendly funeral service or the family who is making this choice, there is now a variety of options available to ensure the funeral is sustainable and green. From funeral and cremation services to eco-friendly coffins for cremation, there are plenty of options. In this article, Fry Bros discusses how to best go about planning an eco-friendly funeral and explores the options that are out there.

Cremation vs Burial

In recent years, more and more people have chosen to have their bodies cremated rather than buried. This can be for several reasons, however, one of the emerging reasons is environmental impact.

Another reason people may choose cremation over burial is the materials and resources that go into making a traditional coffin, as well as the environmental costs of transporting the casket.

At Fry Bros, we understand that each person’s wishes are different, and we are here to enact the wishes of the deceased and their families. We offer a range of cremation services, as well as a range of burial services that are sure to cover you and your family’s needs.

Eco-Friendly Coffins and Caskets

There are now many companies out there manufacturing eco-friendly coffins for cremation and burial. Many of these companies are using biodegradable materials such as pine, cardboard, or even a woven casket as an eco-friendly alternative to a traditional coffin.

If this is something that you are interested in, the team at Fry Bros can help you look into and explore these eco-friendly funeral options. With decades of experience in the industry, we have a network of people who can help you get your hands on quality, well-presented eco-friendly coffin and casket options.

Green Burials

Green burials are eco-friendly funeral options that prioritise environmental impact within the funeral process. Generally, a green burial would not include embalming the deceased, nor would they use concrete to create a burial vault. Furthermore, a green burial would use a biodegradable material, like mentioned above, for the coffin.

The team at Fry Bros Funerals can help you plan an eco-friendly funeral service that still offers the same levels of gratitude, respect and love towards the deceased.
