Eco-Friendly Green Funerals


Losing a mother may be one of the most excruciating things a person can go through in his life. Mothers are often the bonds that hold families together and losing them to death is like losing a vital part of you. It's no wonder then that a family which loses its matriarch to death do everything possible and necessary to send them off in a grand way.

Oftentimes, the bereaved family members prepare a service that's beyond compare. They contact funeral resource companies so they can go over funeral memorial service templates in order to find funeral programs for mom that will not only glorify her but also pay tribute to her in a very special way.

Because music can express feelings in a moving way, the family also tries to compile funeral songs which they can play before and after the service. These songs often contain words of encouragement and playing them throughout the memorial service is a fine way of comforting.

Have you heard of green funerals? They're still pretty much the same as other funerals - a memorial service is still given to the deceased and funeral prayers are still said during the course of the service. The only difference is that this type of funeral is applicable for known environmentalists or people who were staunch supporters of environmental causes when they were still alive.

Green burials are usually held in a nature setting like in the meadow, a field or even a park. Also, most of the resources used for the funeral are all made from recycled materials. They make use of materials that are able to degrade naturally. Non-toxic coffins or caskets which are manufactured using ecological materials are used instead of the normal coffins. Aside from that, recycled paper is used for materials like funeral programs, bookmarks and funeral cards. Many people are opting for this kind of funeral because it is cost efficient and earth friendly, of course.
