Professional support services that you can trust for making burial arrangements that are as green as possible.

As Nature Intended

A Natural Conclusion

Socially Responsible
Our team will arrange an environmentally-positive resting place for remains and offer peace of mind as you make socially-responsible decisions to align with your environmental goals.

Crafted for You
We'll help create an event that meets your wishes, easily arranged in advance with lower potential upfront costs and lower carbon footprint – and that also fulfills the dream to give remains a purpose. We help support environmental excellence – ensuring your last act is an environmentally sustainable one.

Celebrating a Life Well Lived
Our team will plan and implement a memorable, personalized Celebration of Life event that aligns with your values and desires.
We can arrange a green burial site or liaise with the cemetery if arrangements are already in place.

Arrangements
We share our knowledge and expertise and support and implement plans for memorialization. We'll facilitate acquisition of environmentally-positive caskets, arrangements for the personalized burial event (Celebrant, music, flowers, food, etc.) and include involvement of friends and family at whatever level is desired.
