GREEN FUNERALS & NATURAL BURIALS

Prout Funeral home is your "natural" choice for green funerals in the North Jersey area. For those who live an environmentally sustainable life and prefer to leave the earth that way as well, a green funeral or natural burial may be the answer.

With our NATURAL BURIAL PACKAGES this approach creates a legacy of enduring stewardship and renewal as it ensures that you will return to the elements as naturally as possible. Interment can take the place in a shroud, blanket, quilt or native biodegradable casket. No embalming. No manufactured caskets. No concrete vaults.

Some families may prefer a home funeral or a ceremony closer to home; others will opt for a graveside celebration of life. Some local churches may be accommodating to green funerals, which may be another option for the funeral ceremony.

Even if you own an existing plot in a local cemetery, we can help you create a greener funeral service as a spiritually fulfilling alternative to the traditional funeral or cremation.

Please contact us for more information
or to make arrangements.

The Natural Burial Company offers The Ultimate in Environmental Recycling - beautiful, renewable and sustainable...Willow caskets, coffins, urns and baskets.
