A green funeral incorporates environmentally-friendly options in order to meet the needs of a family requesting a green service. A green funeral may include any or all of the following: a gathering in a natural setting, use of only recycled paper products, locally-grown organic flowers, carpooling, no embalming or embalming with formaldehyde-free products, the use of sustainable biodegradable clothing, shroud or casket, and natural or green burial. In natural burial, the body is buried without the use of formaldehyde-based embalming in a natural setting. Any shroud, clothing or casket that is used must be biodegradable, nontoxic, and of sustainable material. Traditional standing headstones are not permitted. Instead, flat rocks, plants or trees may serve as grave markers.
Currently there is one a green cemetery in Bastrop County, Texas. The Eloise Woods Natural Burial Park in Cedar Creek, Texas. Now more local cemeteries are developing designated areas for green burial that will have different burial requirements from other areas. Also, an increasing number of environmentally friendly funeral products, including caskets and urns, are becoming available. At Gipson Pendergrass People’s Mortuary we offer green burial services and would be honored to talk with you about the ever-increasing options.
