If your loved one liked being in nature then planning an eco friendly funeral can lead to a meaningful and memorable ceremony. By planning a ceremony with an experienced funeral director it is possible to integrate sustainable elements into an individual and unique funeral remembering the life of your loved one. Many people have chosen the option of a green funeral as it provides the opportunity to celebrate the life of a loved one in a manner that is in alignment with their values and beliefs.
There are a number of different approaches to planning a green funeral. One meaningful option is choosing a sustainable coffin. Another approach is to choose a woodland burial. A woodland burial will often include planting a tree and flowers at the burial site. This can provide a significant step in the mourning process.

Eco Friendly Coffins
One option for environmentally friendly funerals is to choose an eco friendly coffin. Some options for eco-friendly coffins include wicker coffins, woollen coffins, bamboo coffins and cardboard coffins. Sustainable coffins are made to be completely biodegradable without the addition of metal fittings.
Woodland Burials
Woodland burials often involve planting a tree and plants to create a unique memorial ground for your loved one’s legacy. Stockman & Loram can assist in planning green burials in Cockington Country Park in Conqueror Wood. One option is to have a traditional funeral ceremony followed by a green burial to integrate this aspect into a memorial. In addition to Conqueror Wood in Torquay there are also a wide number of other green burial sites in South Devon including Sharpham Meadow and Bidwell Woodland Burial at Rattery close to Totnes and Crossways at Cheriton Bishop.
