What is a greener funeral?
A greener funeral, also known as a “natural funeral” or “eco-funeral,” is any end-of-life ritual
that is as harmless as possible to the environment.The essence of a greener funeral is a reduction in
environmental impact.
CREMATION – USING FEWER RESOURCES

For many years, cremation has been the most common alternative to
the traditional funeral.
Cremation uses far fewer resources than conventional burial, but it
does have an environmental impact. Families choosing cremation
can take additional steps to make the process more eco-friendly,
beginning with the use of shrouds or eco-friendly caskets.
Cremation also allows for the recycling of medical implants.
“Flameless Cremation” uses less energy and is considered by some to be a gentler, more eco-friendly
alternative to traditional flame-based cremation.The process, sometimes called Alkaline Hydrolysis,
occurs in a pressurized, stainless steel vessel filled with a heated alkaline solution.The alkalis, found
in common household products, act as the catalyst to accelerate the body’s natural decomposition.
Most cemeteries provide a variety of options for cremated remains, including interment in ground
spaces, columbaria (above-ground niches) or special gardens for the scattering of the remains.These
are also greener options, because they use less space.
NEW OPTIONS - A lighter FOOTPRINT
Cremated remains may be placed in urns made from materials that
break down naturally, or specially-designed and recyclable scattering
tubes that facilitate a clean and easy scattering. For those selecting
water burial there are salt, gelatin and other biodegradable urns
designed to float briefly, and then biodegrade within hours or days,
reducing the impact on aquatic life. By using an urn that can be
placed directly into the water, a more dignified memorial experience
can be achieved.

WATER

These urns biodegrade quickly and naturally
once placed into water, some in as little as
four hours. Many design, material and color
alternatives are available, allowing families
to choose from a wide range of options. Urns
are hand-crafted and may vary slightly in size
and appearance.

Urns are supplied with a biodegradable,
water-soluble bag into which the cremated
remains must be placed. All urns in this
section of the catalog are designed to float
briefly and sink intact. Float times will vary
by urn and amount of remains, as well as
local weather and water conditions. Local
regulations must be followed when placing
an urn at sea (no closer than three nautical
miles from shore).

If multiple family members or loved ones
wish to participate in scattering, or to create
their own small memorials, miniature or
keepsake-size urns allow for these options.

Passages® Tubes for Scattering are designed
and engineered to simplify the scattering of
cremated remains. The simplicity, affordability
and functionality of the Scattering Tubes
make them a dignified alternative for families
wishing to scatter.
Passages® Tubes are durable, dignified and
simple to use. Each features a convenient,
removable lid and an industry-first, perforated
“push in” tab that opens easily prior to
scattering. Our Scattering Tubes contain

when buried in the earth.

making these urns an excellent option when
several loved ones wish to participate in the
scattering. See page 45 for a chart showing all
