When it comes to planning cremation services, you may want to choose services that protect the environment. Here are some ways you can do that more easily.

No Embalming

While most people don’t need to have their loved one embalmed before a cremation, some people like to display the body before it is cremated. If you plan to do this, you will need to embalm the body so it does not decompose and can be preserved for the service. If you are worried about the environment, you can choose to have the body cremated before the service and then place the ashes in an urn and display them instead. This still allows people to pay their respect while also keep the environment safe.

Urns Made From Sustainable Materials

If you are planning to use an urn to hold your loved one’s remains , you should try to find one that is made from sustainable materials. You can find urns may of bamboo and other types of wood or even urns that are made from recycled materials. These urns use fewer materials and the materials they used are not being resourced from materials that can’t be restored or regrown quickly. You can also choose to use something you already have as an urn so you don’t have to buy or choose something else.

Spreading The Ashes

Instead of just keeping the remains of a loved one in an urn, you may want to choose to spread the ashes instead. You don’t’ need to choose an urn, even if you are going to transport the ashes. You can choose to keep the ashes in the sealed back that they come from the crematory in, and simply sprinkle them out of the bag and onto the ground or into the water where you are going to spread them. This reduces the resources you need and makes it easier to transport the ashes, spread them, and know that you are protecting the environment.
