Ruth is an all around lovely and caring woman who I have had the pleasure of knowing for many years and am blessed to call a great friend. I feel she has found her calling as she has always sought to comfort and console people.

What is a Green Burial?
Green burials typically require fewer resources (such as a casket, embalming, flower arrangements, etc.) and can be a budget friendly alternative. They also create a smaller carbon footprint and a reduced impact on the environment.
Demand for green burials has increased in recent years as people begin thinking about our impact on the environment and sustainability. Depending on the preferences, a burial might be as straightforward as wrapping the deceased in a biodegradable shroud (typically something like cotton) and burying them in the ground. Some people find comfort in the idea of returning to the earth and do not want a casket or other burial container. You may also choose to use a casket made of a material that will biodegrade more quickly than a traditional casket, such as bamboo or willow. The requirements of the cemetery or location you choose for a green burial may dictate the type of container or shroud you can use.
There are many different ways to customize a green burial to best suit your needs. We can help you review your options and choose the best services for your specific wishes.
