We offer natural burial service options that make a final resting place more peaceful. The families we serve appreciate our dedication to protecting the natural beauty of Texas while honoring their loved ones. It’s the way Texans were buried before there was a funeral industry.
Our green burial service is much more affordable than traditional services at a funeral home. Plus, the local environment doesn’t have to pay a high price. Now families can choose burial without having to worry about the financial or environmental repercussions.
Green burial is a very different process than what’s offered by a standard funeral home. It’s burial that’s free of chemicals, toxins and non-biodegradable materials that pollute the ground and water.
What’s Included With Natural Burial
Our natural burial service includes:
- One-on-one consultations with the Director any day of the week.
- Transfer of deceased to refrigerated holding (35 miles from our dispatch areas included).
- Sheltering the remains in a temperature-controlled environment up to 5 days (additional $50/day, unless delay is involuntary).

- Transportation of the body to the cemetery (35 miles included, $3.50 each additional loaded mile)
- Burial oversight and guidance by a licensed funeral director.

If you aren’t quite comfortable with burial there are several other eco-friendly disposition options. We can also help families arrange clean flame cremation, water cremation or natural organic reduction.
Natural Burial That Makes the Environment More Beautiful
Disposition alternatives that feel natural.
The natural burial services we provide are remarkably similar to how Texans were buried over 100 years ago. It’s simple disposition that allows a family to memorialize their loved one without polluting the final resting place.
Locally crafted caskets and burial vessels.
Lower the carbon footprint of natural burial further by selecting a locally crafted casket. We offer affordable wood caskets from Star of Texas Casket Company of Elgin and woven vessels from Passages International of New Mexico.
Burial process that promotes land preservation.
One of the biggest problems with traditional burial is it uses land that then can’t be utilized for anything else. Natural burial involves biodegradable materials that won’t make the land unsuitable for planting or other purposes years down the road.
