Green Funeral Services at Cedar Memorial Funeral Services in Redlands, CA

At Cedar Memorial Funeral Services, we are committed to providing environmentally conscious funeral options that honor both your loved one and the planet. Our Green Funeral Services are designed for those who lived a life dedicated to sustainability and who wish to leave a minimal environmental footprint in death. Here’s a detailed description of our eco-friendly offerings:

Biodegradable Casket Options:

We offer a range of caskets made from sustainable, biodegradable materials such as bamboo, willow, or recycled paper. These caskets are crafted without the use of toxic glues, metals, or plastics, ensuring a natural return to the earth.

Natural Burial:

Our natural burial options forego the use of traditional vaults, metal caskets, and embalming chemicals, which can be harmful to the environment. Instead, the body is placed directly into the earth, allowing it to decompose naturally and contribute to the ecosystem of the burial site.

Conservation Burial Grounds:

We collaborate with certified conservation burial grounds that prioritize ecological restoration and conservation. Burials in these grounds support the preservation of natural habitats and contribute to local conservation efforts.

Memorial Reefs:

Memorial reefs are an innovative option for creating a living legacy. The cremated remains of your loved one can be incorporated into an environmentally safe cement structure that is placed on the ocean floor, supporting marine life and helping to rebuild coral reefs.

Eco-Friendly Memorial Services:

Our green services extend to the memorial ceremonies as well. We provide options for digital memorial services, reducing the need for travel and the associated carbon footprint. For in-person services, we use locally sourced, organic flowers and offer catering that includes local, organic, and vegetarian options.

Living Memorials:

Instead of traditional headstones, we can arrange for a living memorial in the form of a tree or a garden, planted in honor of your loved one. This serves as a living tribute that benefits the earth and provides a serene place for family and friends to remember their loved one.

At Cedar Memorial Funeral Services, we believe in respecting your environmental values through every step of the funeral process. Our green funeral services are a beautiful way to say goodbye to a loved one while also safeguarding the planet for future generations. If you have any questions or need further assistance in planning a green funeral, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our knowledgeable staff is here to provide support and guidance as you honor your loved one in a manner true to their values.
