What is an Eco-friendly Burial or Green Funeral?

A green burial emphasizes simplicity and environmental sustainability. Instead of being prepared with chemicals such as embalming fluids, the body is simply placed in a shroud and interred without a casket or concrete burial vault. The grave is then allowed to return to nature. The aim is a natural return to the earth. It truly reflects an “ashes to ashes, dust to dust” burial philosophy.

Green burials are not new. Most burials prior to the mid-19th century were conducted this way. Green burials are experiencing a return in choice for several reasons including simplicity, lower costs, conservation of natural resources, elimination of hazardous chemicals, and preservation of natural areas.

Green burials have been an important part of the Casper service offering for years. The Casper team complies with all requirements necessary to provide an easy-to understand process and procedure for individuals and families seeking this ecological burial choice.

Green burials are legal in Massachusetts and throughout New England. State laws do not require the use of a casket, grave liner or burial vault. Each cemetery develops their own rules and regulations about the kind of burial that is allowed in their cemetery.

Long recognized as one of New England’s premiere funeral and burial professionals, the Casper team’s proven expertise, experience, knowledge, and A+ Better Business Bureau rating inspire consumer confidence and certainty that we are the right choice to manage your green burial needs — and we do all this at a surprisingly reasonable cost.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Eco-Friendly Green Burials

Q. My parents want an eco-friendly natural burial. Can you help us plan for this in advance?

A. Absolutely. We’d be more than happy to discuss details with you in advance of needing our services. Preplanning for this highly emotional event is a thoughtful way for families to ensure everything is arranged ahead of time. It allows everyone to focus on the grieving and celebration processes when the time comes to say goodbye. During the planning process, we can review eco-friendly casket and shroud options, natural burial plots, and any special rituals that align with your family’s values.

Q. Do you have experience offering eco-friendly funerals and green burials?

A. Yes. Casper Funeral & Cremation Services has been offering eco-friendly funeral and green burial services for many years. Established in 1930 by Joseph and Florence Casper, our family-owned funeral home has a long history of providing a wide range of natural funeral services, as well as low-cost cremation with no extra charges, traditional funerals, international funeral shipping, veteran funerals with military honors, and graveside burials to families across Massachusetts. Our experienced team is well-versed in guiding families through the options and legal requirements for eco-friendly burial sites.

Q. Does an eco-friendly funeral/burial really help “save” the environment?

A. Yes. Conserving natural resources is a direct benefit of green burials. Each year, U.S. cemeteries bury over 30 million board feet of hardwood and 90,000 tons of steel in caskets, as well as 17,000 tons of steel and copper in vaults and 1.6 million tons of reinforced concrete in vaults. Green burials eliminate the use of toxic chemicals, such as formaldehyde, that are commonly used in traditional embalming. By choosing a natural burial, families can actively reduce their environmental footprint while honoring the life of their loved one in a sustainable, respectful way.

Q. Can families personalize an eco-friendly burial service?

A. Absolutely. Green burials offer flexibility for personalization. Families can incorporate natural elements, such as biodegradable caskets or shrouds, plant native trees or flowers at the gravesite, or include meaningful rituals that reflect the life and values of their loved one. Our team works closely with you to create a meaningful ceremony that honors the deceased and aligns with environmental priorities.

Google Reviews “Recently I was faced with the unexpected death of my sister. Being her only living immediate family member I was faced with the cost and responsibility of her services. Casper was extremely helpful in helping me arrange her cremation all while keeping her arrangements very affordable. They kept in contact with me every step of the way until I was able to bring her home. I would absolutely recommend Casper to any family faced with the loss of a loved one. Thank you to everyone at Casper for making one of the hardest times in my life a little easier and for taking such good care of my sister Aylise while she was in your care.”
