Green Burial?
As more and more Canadians consider their environmental footprint, it’s only natural that we turn those considerations to how we will make our final arrangements.

An eco-friendly alternative to cremation, natural burial (also known as green burial) simply refers to the return of a body to the earth with as minimal an impact on the environment as possible. It’s a practice that dates back thousands of years, and as more families learn about the options available to them, we’re happy to say is once again growing here in Ontario.

For those considering Natural Burial, these are the key tenets:

• The body is not embalmed

• The body is placed in either a natural, biodegradable casket or shroud

• The casket or shroud is placed directly into the earth without a concrete liner or vault

• The site is left to its natural indigenous state vs. being landscaped

With the growing interest in natural burial, more and more cemeteries are dedicating spaces for this type of service. And with the exceptional efforts of the Green Burial Society of Canada and the Natural Burial Association, there’s a strong movement toward growth in dedicated natural burial cemeteries.

Our goal is to help each family plan a meaningful service of remembrance for their loved one; a tribute that is reflective of the values and the personality unique to the individual. Below is an example of the basic services included for direct burial that covers all the essentials, without any hidden fees.

To make arrangements for a Direct Burial, please contact us to discuss how we can best serve your needs.

Below are just a few of the environmentally-friendly casket options available. They are made from Canadian poplar with a peg and dowel assembly and natural finishes without any metal, steel or plastics. For even more options, please refer to page 7 in our current price list.
