Green Funerals

A green funeral offers a meaningful way to say goodbye, while also respecting and preserving the natural world. At Freeman Brothers, we are committed to providing eco-friendly funeral options that minimise environmental impact, allowing families to honour their loved ones in a way that aligns with their values.

Honouring life and minimising the impact on the planet

Green funerals focus on sustainability, reducing the use of materials and processes that are harmful to the environment. Whether you’re seeking a natural burial in a woodland setting or an eco-friendly cremation, our experienced team is here to guide you through the choices available.

What Makes a Funeral “Green”?

There are several elements that can make a funeral more eco-friendly, and we can tailor the service to suit your wishes:

  • Natural Burials: These take place in a woodland or natural burial ground where graves are hand-dug and free from concrete linings. Biodegradable coffins or shrouds are used, allowing the body to return naturally to the earth.
  • Eco-friendly Coffins: We offer a range of coffins made from sustainable materials such as wicker, bamboo, and cardboard. These coffins are fully biodegradable, leaving no trace in the environment.
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Green funerals often reduce carbon emissions by limiting the use of resources that contribute to environmental harm.

Personalised, Eco-friendly Options

Every green funeral can be tailored to your family’s specific needs. Whether it’s choosing a natural burial site or selecting sustainable materials, we’re here to make sure the service honours your loved one while keeping environmental considerations at the forefront.


Why Choose a Green Funeral?

For many, choosing a green funeral is a reflection of their loved one’s beliefs and commitment to the environment. It’s a way of giving back to the earth, helping to preserve natural spaces, and ensuring that even in passing, we respect the world around us. A green funeral can provide comfort, knowing that the service honours both the individual and the planet they cared about.
