Many Austinites choose Green Cremation Texas because we are the first and only carbon neutral funeral home in the heart of Texas. Eco-conscious residents appreciate that we have dedicated 20 years to improving cremation services in Austin so that they have less of an impact on the local environment while maintaining the highest quality standards.
We’ve created a cleaner way to perform flame cremation that’s more energy efficient and results in fewer air-borne toxins compared to traditional services. Extra precautions are taken to ensure no plastics are ever incinerated and energy use is minimized at every stage in the process.
In Texas you have the option of choosing water cremation, also referred to as aquamation. We’re among the few Austin funeral homes that specializes in this unique method that utilizes a water/alkali solution for natural decomposition rather than pollutant-generating incineration. Overall, 90% less energy is used with water cremation.
Once the cremation is complete we can store the remains in a temporary recyclable container. We also have a variety of green cremation containers in Austin that can be used for burials and scattering ceremonies.

Few people are prepared to handle the death of a loved one without having to deal with the frustration of deciphering all of the related expenses. Funeral homes are notorious for having less than transparent pricing, low-ball estimates and adding on unexpected fees.
Green Cremation Texas is helping clear up the confusion by making burial and direct cremation prices in Austin more transparent.
Also known as ‘bio-cremation’, ‘Aqua-Cremation’, or resomation, green cremation is a gentle, environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional cremations and casket burials. It is a quiet process that uses water and potassium hydroxide to reduce the deceased’s body to its basic element of bone ash.
Like cost-of-living, Austin funeral costs have increased significantly in recent years. The average cost of a funeral without factoring in the cost of a plot, burial fees and headstone is slightly above the national average of $7,300. With all of the costs included a traditional burial in Austin can easily exceed $10,000.
The average cost of cremation in Austin is less than a traditional burial, but if you opt for services at the funeral home it can be expensive. Austin cremation services are generally between $4,000-$6,500 with a formal viewing and memorial at the funeral home.
Cheap cremation in Austin is possible when you choose a no service option. This option is known as direct cremation. The cost of cremation without service in Austin is closer to just $1,000-$2,200.

At Green Cremation Texas Austin Funeral Home we keep it simple with all-inclusive direct cremation packages for a single price. You get eco-friendly cremation services without hidden fees, upsells and unnecessary extras.
