Learn more about eco-funerals, a natural and green way to say goodbye to a loved one.
At Shoobridge Funeral Services, a family funeral director in Exeter, environmental consciousness is growing, and eco-funerals are becoming a popular choice for those seeking a more sustainable approach to saying goodbye. We recognise this shift and offer eco-friendly funeral options, such as our Woodland Burial Service, which allows you to make environmentally conscious decisions for your loved one's final tribute.
What is an eco-funeral?
Eco-funerals, also known as green or woodland burials, are lovely alternatives to traditional services or cremations. These burials take place in natural settings like woodlands or meadows, providing a serene and scenic resting place. At Shoobridge Funerals in Exeter, we look to minimise environmental impact when we carry out eco-funerals, by providing a natural alternative to the traditional wooden coffin such as willow or cardboard options.
Why choose an eco-funeral?
Eco-funerals appeal to those who value sustainability and wish to personalise their farewell in an environmentally friendly manner. They are ideal for individuals with a strong connection to nature, but they are also perfectly suited for those who aren't looking for religious ceremonies if that is their wish. Woodland burials offer beautiful, natural settings surrounded by trees and wildlife.
Key elements to consider with eco-funerals:
- Choosing biodegradable coffins
- Opting for burial over a cremation to reduce energy usage
- Go without permanent headstones to blend with nature
- Avoiding embalming to protect the environment
- Limiting vehicle use to reduce carbon emissions
How to choose your eco-funeral burial site?
When choosing a burial site for your eco-funeral in Exeter, make sure to explore different natural burial grounds or woodland areas in the region, evaluating accessibility, natural beauty, and environmental ethos. Within our Woodland Burial Service, we recommend Great Bradley Cottage near Tiverton, but there are a number of other local options including sites in Seaton, Cheriton Bishop, Torquay, and other nearby areas.
