Green Burials

Environmental consciousness has become a part of our daily lives. An increasing number of people are seeking burial options that harmonize with nature. Green burials, an eco-friendly and meaningful choice, are becoming more widely-accepted as a way of returning to the earth in a sustainable way. We are proud to offer these green burial options, providing a compassionate, environmentally-sensitive alternative to traditional funeral practices.

A green burial emphasizes simplicity and environmental sustainability. A green burial avoids the use of a metal casket, concrete burial vault and embalming chemicals, which can have adverse effects on the environment over the long term. Green burials are legal in Massachusetts and throughout New England. State laws do not require the use of a concrete grave liner or burial vault. However, each cemetery develops its own rules and regulations about the kind of burial that is allowed in their cemetery.

We will guide you and your family through the entire green burial process, making it as easy as possible for you and your loved ones during this difficult time. We understand that choosing a green burial is not just a statement of environmental responsibility; it is a deeply personal decision.

One of the most distinctive features of a green burial is the use of fully-biodegradable caskets. These caskets are made from sustainable materials, such as bamboo, willow, or pine, which are carefully selected to have minimal impact on the environment. The biodegradable casket is placed directly into the earth, where it naturally decomposes. In this natural process, nature is allowed to take its course, fostering the growth of new life.

We believe that the final goodbye for a loved one should be a reflection of the values that mattered to them most in life. We are committed to guiding you and your family through this process with warmth and support, ensuring a meaningful, ecologically-responsible farewell for your loved one.
