Looking to reduce their environmental footprint in death? Reducing the environmental footprint is now possible with environmentally friendly green cremation.
A direct flame cremation is a service provided without a formal viewing or ceremony with the body present. If you elect to arrange a direct flame cremation, you may use an alternative container. Alternative containers are a minimum requirement to house the body during the process of flame cremation. You are welcome to provide your own casket if building specs have been pre-approved by our crematory. If you provide your own container, no discount is applied.

For people uncomfortable with Water Cremation, but still looking to reduce their environmental footprint in death, we offer our unique flame cremation service. This cremation service takes the traditional, flame-based cremation process and makes it as environmentally friendly as possible. We do this by reducing the environmental footprint before, during, and after the body is cremated. For starters, all of the administrative work to arrange for the cremation is completely paper free, reducing the amount of resources consumed by routine administrative work.
The cremation process begins with us taking care to transport the body as little distance as possible in order to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Once the body it is in our care, it is sent directly to energy efficient crematorium.
Next, we remove all medical and end-of-life plastics from the body as we prepare it for cremation. This keeps the chemicals they would have released during the burning process out of the atmosphere. In addition, we do not wrap bodies in plastic sheeting once; we wrap in a clean cotton sheet and place the body in a cardboard container.
The result is no plastics of any kind are incinerated during the cremation process.
This translates into decreased environmental and human impact. For those wanting to further reduce their impact, an increasing number of people are choosing water cremation as an alternative to burial and flame-based cremation services.

Timely & Compassionate
"Timely and compassionate communication is so important when faced with a difficult situation, such as managing the logistics of loss. Marlaena was quick to reply to questions, always professional, and caring in her responses. My mother passed away at an assisted living facility and the staff there noted that the Green Cremation team was very professional and thoughtful. We are grateful to have found them."

Professional & Timely
"I really appreciated how easy Marlaena and Green Cremation were to work with. During such a stressful time it was a BIG deal that I could do everything by phone and online. It was one less thing I had to worry about. Their team was so professional and timely - I could not have asked for more. Thank you, GC! We were also comforted by their 'greeness' in everything they do!!"
