Green Burials and Environmentally Friendly Alternatives
by Naomi Bradbury-Marchand, Licensed Cremationist, Funeral Coordinator, and Co-owner
More people are beginning to think about how their end-of-life choices affect the environment. The growing awareness of climate change and resource conservation has led families to explore greener ways to honor their loved ones. The term “green burial” is often used in a broad sense, but in reality, it has a precise definition under federal and industry guidelines. Even if an actual green burial is not available or desired, there are still many ways to reduce environmental impact when making funeral arrangements.

Even if an actual green burial is not available or desired, there are still many ways to reduce environmental impact when making funeral arrangements.
A proper green burial is carefully regulated. It means avoiding embalming, metal caskets, and concrete vaults. Instead, the body is placed in the ground in the most natural state possible, either wrapped in a shroud or in a biodegradable casket made from untreated wood or natural fibers. Cemeteries that are certified for green burials follow strict environmental standards. They often preserve natural landscapes, limit the use of heavy machinery, and avoid practices that disturb the surrounding ecosystem. This approach enables the burial site to blend seamlessly with the environment, rather than creating a permanent footprint.
For many families, cremation is seen as a simpler and less costly choice. However, cremation is not considered a green option. The process relies on fossil fuels and consumes a significant amount of energy. Containers made of cardboard or wood are usually required, which also contributes to resource use. Still, it is essential to note that cremation has become cleaner over time. Modern crematories use advanced technology to limit emissions, and many exceed federal standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. This makes cremation less harmful than it once was, though it remains resource-intensive compared to natural burial.
Choosing environmentally friendly options does not always require a certified green burial. Many families can make choices within traditional or cremation services that lessen the environmental impact. Biodegradable urns are one example. These urns break down naturally in soil or water, allowing ashes to be returned to the earth without leaving behind permanent materials. Some urns even contain tree seeds, so the remains contribute to new growth.
Funeral homes that do not advertise green burials may still provide other sustainable alternatives. A growing number of providers now offer caskets made of bamboo, wicker, or untreated pine, all of which decompose more quickly than metal or lacquered wood. Shrouds are another option that requires no additional materials and have been used in burial traditions across cultures for centuries.
Another environmentally friendly choice is burial without embalming. Embalming chemicals are used to preserve the body for viewing temporarily, but they can seep into the soil after burial. Skipping embalming not only reduces chemical use but also aligns more closely with how burials were handled before the widespread adoption of modern preservation methods. Families who want to view can often choose alternative forms of preparation that avoid chemicals.
Beyond burial and cremation, there are also emerging alternatives designed with the environment in mind. Alkaline hydrolysis, sometimes called water cremation, uses a solution of water and alkali to reduce the body to bone fragments, similar to the outcome of flame cremation but with lower energy use and fewer emissions. This option is not legal in every state, but where available, it is often considered a more sustainable alternative to traditional cremation.
Some cemeteries are also experimenting with conservation burials. These combine natural burial practices with the permanent protection of land, much like a nature preserve. Families who choose this option contribute not only to a sustainable burial but also to the conservation of ecosystems.
The decisions surrounding end-of-life care are deeply personal, shaped by cultural traditions, religious practices, and family values. For some, the priority is preserving tradition, while for others it is minimizing environmental impact. By understanding the differences between certified green burials, modified traditional services, and new technologies, families can find an option that reflects their wishes while respecting the planet.
Green burial and its alternatives demonstrate how end-of-life services continue to evolve. The funeral industry, like many others, is responding to environmental concerns with new solutions that balance dignity, tradition, and sustainability. Families today have more choices than ever before, which allows them to plan arrangements that align with both personal values and ecological responsibility.

Why On-Site Cremation Matters
by Naomi Bradbury-Marchand
Most families are surprised to learn that cremation often does not take place where funeral arrangements are made. In many cases, a loved one is transported to a facility miles away, sometimes crossing county lines or even further. This process can be unsettling for families who assume that everything happens in one location. Understanding the difference between on-site cremations and outsourced cremations is essential for both peace of mind and practical reasons.

Why On-Site Cremation Matters
Most families are surprised to learn that cremation often does not take place where funeral arrangements are made. In many cases, a loved one is transported to a facility miles away, sometimes crossing county lines or even further. This process can be unsettling for families who assume that everything happens in one location. Understanding the difference between on-site cremations and outsourced cremations is essential for both peace of mind and practical reasons. When a crematory is located within the funeral home itself, everything happens under one roof. This arrangement provides more control over the process, reassuring families that their loved one remains in the trusted hands of professionals throughout. For many, that sense of oversight offers comfort during a difficult time.
Another factor is privacy. On-site cremation allows a family to feel secure knowing their loved one is not being transported back and forth to unfamiliar facilities. The fewer transfers involved, the lower the risk of errors, and the more respectful the process becomes. Families often value the idea that care is being provided in one continuous setting, rather than in multiple locations.
With an on-site crematory, the process is not only more private but also more transparent, which builds trust for families.
Environmental concerns are another reason why on-site cremation matters. Transporting remains over long distances requires additional fuel and creates higher emissions. An on-site facility reduces that footprint. Additionally, modern crematories are equipped with advanced filtration systems that minimize their environmental impact. For families who care about sustainability, this detail can make a significant difference.
The logistics of timing also come into play. When cremation is outsourced, scheduling can be affected by the availability of external facilities, which may result in additional waiting days. An on-site crematory allows for greater flexibility and timeliness. Families often appreciate knowing that the process can be completed without unnecessary delays, giving them more control over memorial planning.
From a professional standpoint, having cremation on-site reduces the chance of miscommunication between different businesses. When arrangements are handled entirely in-house, the staff overseeing the funeral is the same people managing the cremation. This continuity helps maintain accuracy and accountability, two qualities that are especially important when handling something as sensitive as a loved one’s final care.
For some families, religious or cultural beliefs place added importance on how quickly and directly cremation occurs. An on-site facility can honor those traditions more faithfully by avoiding delays or additional transfers. The ability to respect those values within a single location helps families feel their wishes are being fully understood.
Technology has also improved the cremation process. Modern on-site crematories often feature monitoring systems that enable greater precision and safety. These advancements reduce the margin for error and ensure that the process remains respectful throughout. Families may never see this equipment directly, but the peace of mind it provides is genuine.
In addition to environmental and logistical benefits, the emotional side of the process should not be overlooked. Families want reassurance that their loved one is cared for with dignity. Knowing that the cremation takes place within the same building where they said their goodbyes can bring comfort. It creates a sense of continuity and closure, qualities that matter deeply during grief.
Choosing a cremation provider is often a decision made quickly, under stressful circumstances. Many people are unaware that there are different ways cremation can be handled. Asking whether cremation occurs on-site or at another facility is a question that helps families understand exactly what to expect.
The location of the crematory is not just a logistical detail, but a factor that shapes the entire experience. On-site cremation offers more control, greater privacy, fewer environmental impacts, and stronger assurance of accuracy. These qualities make it a meaningful choice for families who value both respect and responsibility.
For anyone considering cremation, understanding the differences between on-site and off-site facilities can help bring clarity to a decision made during an emotional time. While every family has unique needs, the knowledge that cremation takes place under one roof often provides a level of comfort that cannot be overlooked.

Honoring Without Embalming

When someone dies, families are often presented with a long list of decisions that must be made quickly. Among these is the question of embalming. Many assume that embalming is required; however, in most cases, it is not. Embalming is rarely mandated by law, and families have more choices than they realize when it comes to caring for a loved one’s body.

For some families, this aligns with their traditions and preferences. But for others, the idea of introducing chemicals into the body does not feel right. The choice often comes down to personal values, religious beliefs, and environmental concerns.
The alternatives are simpler, quieter, and often more natural. Refrigeration is the most common method used when embalming is not chosen. Cool temperatures slow down changes in the body, allowing families time to gather and hold services without the use of chemical preservation. Refrigeration is used in hospitals, funeral homes, and even at home with specialized cooling equipment when families wish to keep their loved one close for a short time.
Gentle body preparation is another option. This can include washing, dressing, and caring for the body in ways that honor cultural or religious traditions. Families may find meaning in these rituals, which are sometimes performed together with the guidance of a funeral director. These steps are dignified and respectful, and they provide the same opportunity for visitation and farewell as embalming would.
For families concerned about the environment, avoiding embalming can feel like a natural choice. Embalming fluids contain formaldehyde and other chemicals that eventually return to the soil. Choosing refrigeration or simple preparation supports a cleaner path and aligns with the growing movement toward green and natural burial practices.
For those who prefer a more straightforward and more environmentally conscious approach, the choice to forgo embalming can bring peace of mind.
Religious and cultural traditions also shape this decision. In Jewish and Muslim practices, embalming is generally avoided. The body is washed, shrouded, and buried as soon as possible, reflecting values of respect and simplicity. Families who follow these traditions often find comfort in knowing that their loved one’s care aligns with generations of practice.
Even outside of faith-based reasons, many people are drawn to the idea of keeping things natural. They see value in returning the body to the earth without additional intervention. For them, refrigeration and gentle preparation provide a way to honor their loved one while staying true to their beliefs.
Some families also find that avoiding embalming allows them to spend time with their loved one in a more personal setting. In-home vigils, supported by cooling devices, are becoming more common. These quiet hours allow for reflection, storytelling, and closeness before burial or cremation. It is a slower process that can feel less clinical and more connected.
Funeral directors play an essential role in explaining these choices. Families should know that embalming is not automatically required for viewing or for holding a meaningful service. The most important part of the farewell is not the preservation method but the space created for remembrance and support.
In the end, the choice about embalming is deeply personal. Some families value the preservation and appearance that embalming provides. Others value the simplicity and natural quality of refrigeration or gentle preparation. Neither choice is wrong, but families should feel confident that they can choose what feels most meaningful to them.
Decisions always accompany death, but it is also a time to honor values. When families know that embalming is not the only option, they can choose a path that feels true to their beliefs, their traditions, and their love for the person they are saying goodbye to.
