BIODEGRADABLE CASKETS
We offer simple and elegant caskets made completely of natural, quickly biodegradable materials, such as bamboo, wicker, and wood. The deceased may be dressed in natural fibers, such as undyed cotton, linen, wool, or silk.
A RESTFUL RETURN TO NATURE
Many cemeteries now offer natural burials, where no vault or lining separates the casket from the soil. We are honored to partner with Natural Burial New Mexico, located just south of Albuquerque at the base of the beautiful Manzano Mountains.
Natural Burial New Mexico is the only cemetery in New Mexico certified by the
Green Burial Council as a natural burial ground fully dedicated to green burials.
NATURAL FUNERAL OPTIONS
A green burial does not use traditional embalming chemicals. Instead, environmentally friendly embalming options are available. Families may also choose to not to have embalming services performed instead. Other details of services may be tailored to create less of an environmental impact as well, including keeping services in one location or providing shuttles for guests to cut down on carbon emissions.
