The Green Funeral Package

£2250

From:

Plus Third-Party Fees

With people becoming increasingly concerned about the impact they are having on the environment, our Green Funeral Package offers the choice for a more environmentally friendly alternative to a traditional funeral. This means the use of less harmful and wasteful materials used for the caring of your loved one and during the burial process or cremation. Materials used to make the coffins are sustainable and biodegradable such as bamboo, wicker, wool or cardboard.

​

Natural burials can either be in a natural burial ground, woodland burial ground, burial at sea or even in your own garden or private land.

 

Cremation is the choice of many people and is usually a less expensive option. Crematoria now have many regulations in place which help to clean up the process meaning that less harmful emissions are released into the atmosphere. Maple Park Crematorium is equipped with an electric cremator meaning there are no emissions from burners and temperature peaks are lower.

 

Remember, this figure does not include the costs of disbursements (third-party fees).

Our Green Funeral package includes:

  • 24-hour care and support

  • Our Professional Services and conducting the funeral

  • Arrangement at our funeral home, or at a location of your choice

  • Collection of your loved one from their place of death at any time of day or night

  • Care of your loved one at our funeral home in Ripon

  • Preparation of your loved one, including dressing in their own (natural material) clothing or a cotton shroud

  • Use of our Chapel of Rest for visiting your loved one if desired

  • Our locally sourced Wicker Coffin

  • Provision of an electric Hearse to transport your loved one on the day of the service

  • Provision of our family team of pallbearers

  • Collection and delivery of your loved one’s ashes if desired

What are Third-Party Fees (Disbursements)?

Third-party fees are made up of the costs for services we do not provide but pay for on your behalf. These vary from funeral to funeral due to several factors, such as whether the funeral is to be a cremation or a burial and the location of the service.

Third party fees often include Doctors' fees, Crematorium fees, Celebrant/Officiant fees.
