Melissa has been the most present, patient, and intuitive funeral director I’ve ever met in a way that was organic and full of warmth.

When i called her all my thoughts were a mess inside my head. I cried and rambled on about my daughter and about what i thought she would like and Melissa LISTENED to me. She then helped me with what i wanted to do for my daughter. She wasn't fazed at all when i wanted to change something, she just made it happen. Melissa always answered any questions i had either by texting me back or emailing me.

Our Eco-Friendly Water Cremation Process

Long before other funeral homes were considering aquamation, Cremation.Green was arranging the service for families across Texas. Death rites are extremely personal, and every person should have the ability to choose from all safe disposition options. This is especially true for water cremation, one of the most environmentally-friendly, safest forms for disposition used today.

Our water cremation service includes:

  • 24-hour personal assistance from the Director.
  • Transfer of deceased from facility of death or Medical Examiner’s office to refrigerated holding (1st 35 miles from our dispatch areas included).
  • Sheltering of the remains in a temperature-controlled environment up to 5 days (additional $50/day, unless delay is involuntary).
  • AirTray/combo transport wood unit (for transportation)
  • Water cremation services and operations fee.
  • Removal of plastics and medical devices.

If you aren’t quite comfortable with water cremation, our clean flame cremation is another option. We’ve taken traditional cremation services and made them much greener so that less resources are used and fewer pollutants are generated.

Those who want the absolute greenest disposition possible may want to explore natural organic reduction. It’s the newest form of disposition that is being used in numerous states.

Texas’ First Carbon-Neutral Funeral Home

We’re honored to be a funeral home that advocates for families and wants to expand options rather than limit them. Our mission has always been to help innovate the funeral industry so that it better serves people and preserves the environment they live in.

Investing in advanced disposition options.

Over the course of history, disposition has changed, and today is no exception. We’re investing in advanced disposition that has proven to be more sensible, affordable and better for the environment. It’s disposition you can feel better about.

A paperless process that’s convenient and eco-friendly.

We’re an all-digital funeral home that saves clients time and money by removing paper from the process entirely. It’s also one more way Cremation.Green has made every funeral service more eco-friendly.

We recycle plastics and safely dispose of medical devices.

One of the benefits of water cremation is there’s no concern about incinerating plastics and medical devices. We remove those after the water cremation to recycle the plastics if possible and safely dispose of medical devices so they don’t become dangerous pollutants.

We plant trees in honor of every family that we work with.

We have partnered with Sustainable Harvest International to plant trees where they are most needed around the globe.

Sustainable Harvest International is an environmental nonprofit with over 25 years of experience partnering with smallholder farmers to adopt regenerative practices that nourish people and the planet.
