About Green And Natural Burial

At Crescent Funeral Services, we are proud to offer green burial options for families who wish to honour their loved ones while caring for the environment. Green burials provide a natural and eco-friendly alternative to traditional funeral practices, allowing for a sustainable and meaningful farewell.

A green burial focuses on simplicity and environmental preservation. This involves using biodegradable materials, such as eco-coffins or shrouds, and avoiding embalming chemicals to ensure minimal environmental impact. Green burials often take place in natural settings, such as woodland burial grounds. Trees, Roses, meadow flowers are considered a more appropriate memorial than the traditional Stone carved headstone of the traditional cemetery, creating a peaceful and serene resting place that blends harmoniously with nature. It is essential that natural materials accompany this option, so the coffin for instance should be made of a sustainable material, rather than solid wood and plastics and synthetics should be kept to an absolute minimum.

One such natural burial ground found locally is Fevin Nature Reserve Burial Ground
