Green Funeral Plan

A greener funeral plan – kinder to your family,                                       

kinder to the environment

As concerns about the environment loom larger in our daily lives, more and more people are choosing ecologically conscious funerals. These use natural, biodegradable coffins that have a minimal impact on the environment—whether cremated or buried. Many clients take their

green funeral

a step further, too, and opt to be buried in a woodland burial ground rather than in a traditional, and increasingly overcrowded, graveyard.

A natural coffin

Customers increasingly choose coffins made entirely from natural, eco-friendly materials such as cardboard, wicker, bamboo or even recycled paper—with handles made from natural fabric such as woven cotton—or traditional coffins made with wood from sustainable sources. Many of these can be decorated by the planholder’s loved ones.

Rest in peace with a woodland burial

With a Golden Leaves Green Funeral Plan, the deceased is laid to rest in a beautiful, natural and peaceful location amongst the trees. To mark the grave, you can plant a tree, sow wild flower seeds or build a bird box.

A personal touch

To make your natural funeral even more special, we’re always delighted to add any extra personal touches—a walking funeral, a horse-drawn hearse or the release of white doves—or perhaps live music.

Your money resides in our Green Trust Fund

What’s more, our Golden Leaves Trust Green Fund only places its funds in green and ethical investments, both in the UK and globally, so you can rest assured that the funds are used in an ecologically thoughtful way.
