Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals

A green funeral, sometimes called an Eco-Friendly Funeral, describes a funeral where people will have nature in mind.

Cremations venue

Eco Friendly Farewells

This may contain different elements, such as a woven coffin or shroud made from sustainable materials, a burial that doesn’t take place at the local municipal cemetery but a beautiful woodland or meadow burial ground with nature as the backdrop.

Sustainable Coffin Choices for Green Funerals

Natural woven coffins are made of fast-growing, environmentally friendly natural materials, such as bamboo, willow, and banana leaves. We work with UK-based small businesses that recycle wood, wool and other natural materials to make beautiful bespoke coffins.

Personalised Cardboard Coffins as Eco-Friendly Options

Cardboard coffins, another eco-friendly option, are largely made from recycled materials and offer a unique opportunity for personalisation. You can decorate or paint these coffins, making them a truly personal and meaningful part of the funeral process.

A natural burial is a beautiful and environmentally friendly way to honor your loved one, allowing them to return to the earth naturally. These burials take place in serene woodlands, meadows, or dedicated green spaces, where nature is preserved, and life continues to flourish.

With a focus on sustainability and simplicity, natural burials avoid embalming chemicals and use only biodegradable shrouds or coffins, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. Instead of traditional headstones, trees, wildflowers, or wooden markers serve as living tributes, blending seamlessly into the landscape.

Compassionate Funerals are very caring, considerate and truly live up to their name. I was at a funeral of a friend's father which they took complete care of, going above and beyond, to ensure it ran smoothly. A truly blessed funeral company. Thank you!

The team at Compassionate Funerals were exceptional. Allistair was very accommodating and came to the family house to meet all the family to get a sense of our mother who passed away. They made us feel like we were celebrating the life of our loved one rather than grieving a loss.
I would highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Compassionate. They responded quickly and sensitively to our requests within a tight timeframe (after our mother passed away very suddenly) and supported us wonderfully in providing a lovely service.

I found Compassionate Funerals to be very helpful, reliable and economical. I have recommended them since and would do so again.

Couldn't have asked for more. Allistair and his staff helped my family through one of our toughest times. The kindness, warmth and patience shown to us was more then we could ever have expected.

We would like to sincerely thank you for your support.
