GREEN BURIAL
Cornerstone Funeral Services promotes environmentally friendly burial
practices for those who desire a funeral in harmony with the earth. Green and
Natural Funerals are reminiscent of a bygone time when it was customary practice
to bury in a way that allowed the body to return to the earth naturally.
For those committed to caring for our planet, natural burial is
a uniquely satisfying choice, as well as a profoundly moving memorial.
By providing natural burial services, we endeavor to practice good
stewardship in making it possible for families to care for the Earth, as we care
for their loved ones. A growing number of families are now choosing services of
this type to honor their loved ones.
Families may opt for services at home, in our funeral home, at their
place of worship or other location, or even simply at the graveside. Services
can be officiated by a clergyman, funeral celebrant, family member or friend.
They may choose to honor their loved one by inviting those present to share thoughts
and memories. We can help plan the service of choice.
For those who already own space or prefer burial in another cemetery, we can
provide a green funeral. If a burial vault is required by the cemetery, we can
provide one that allows contact with the earth.
