Eco-Friendly Funeral Options
As people become increasingly aware of their impact on the environment, many are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, including when planning a funeral. An eco-friendly or green funeral can help reduce the environmental impact while still providing a meaningful and dignified farewell.
We offer a range of greener funeral options, including eco coffins and urns, as well as cremation choices designed to reduce environmental impact.
Is Cremation Eco-Friendly?
Cremation can be made more environmentally friendly by considering the choices made before and during the cremation process.
For example, not using embalming can help reduce the use of chemicals, while choosing a wicker, cardboard or other eco-friendly coffin can reduce the materials used.
Cremation does, however, require a considerable amount of energy, so it generally has a greater environmental impact than a natural or woodland burial. There are nevertheless ways to make cremation a greener choice.
Electric Cremation Powered by Renewable Energy
For families looking for a lower-emission cremation option, we offer the choice of Memoria Doncaster and South Yorkshire Crematorium in Barnby Dun Doncaster.
The crematorium features an electric cremator powered by renewable energy, providing an alternative to traditional gas-powered cremation.
Key benefit: Lower emissions
The electric cremator produces approximately 95% less carbon dioxide emissions than a standard gas cremator.
By combining an environmentally conscious choice of coffin, avoiding embalming where appropriate, and selecting a crematorium using renewable energy, it is possible to reduce the environmental impact of a cremation while still creating a personal and dignified funeral.
Looking after your future generations today.
Love Fond farewell 🌱🤍
