Why Families Are Choosing Green Funerals

green funerals Manchester

More families than ever are choosing green funerals as a way of saying goodbye that is both meaningful and environmentally responsible. Unlike traditional services, which often involve embalming chemicals, hardwood or metal coffins, and concrete vaults, a green or eco-friendly funeral uses natural materials and practices that allow the body to return gently to the earth. For many people, this feels like a final act of care for the planet.

A natural burial offers the chance to create a farewell that reflects personal values. Many people want their funeral to mirror the way they lived—simply, responsibly, and with respect for nature. Natural burial grounds often resemble meadows or woodlands rather than formal cemeteries. Families find comfort in these peaceful surroundings, which provide a sense of renewal and connection to the cycle of life.

Simplicity is also a key reason why people are drawn to eco-friendly funerals. Without ornate coffins, embalming, or unnecessary structures, a green funeral focuses on authenticity and meaning. Families often choose biodegradable coffins or shrouds, hold services outdoors, or plant wildflowers in memory of their loved one. This involvement can make the experience feel more personal and healing.

For many, cost is another consideration. Because they avoid some of the more expensive elements of traditional funerals, green funerals can often be a more affordable option, without compromising on dignity or care.

Above all, choosing a green funeral is about legacy. It allows families to leave behind not only cherished memories but also a positive contribution to the future. By lessening environmental impact, an eco-friendly funeral supports conservation and renewal for generations to come.

A green funeral is more than a trend—it is a natural, thoughtful way to honour both a loved one’s life and the world they leave behind.

How Funerals Are Changing

Arranging a funeral, we can help

Every culture in every corner of the world mourns. Throughout all of human existence, we have taken the time to grieve the deaths and celebrate the lives of our passed loved ones. But while the core ideas of a loving or triumphant farewell have stayed with through the aeons, the aesthetics and practices have changed in step with society.

More and more, we are stemming away from the traditional view of funerals as a necessarily sombre religious affair. Funeral directors tell us that, as a generation, we are envisioning services as a celebration of the deceased’s memory and not as a mourning of their passing. This is not to say the sadness has in any way faded from the grieving process, far from it, but simply that we are using funerals to appreciate what we had, not lament what we will not.

Secular Funerals

Funeral Director Audenshaw

Part of this phenomenon comes from the falling numbers of religious people across the country. A large aspect of the traditional funeral is the focus on (often Christian) values and practices. 

As individuals are starting to break from that faith, that specific form of grief becomes less and less of an expectation. Funerals have become an incredibly personal experience, with bespoke directors tailoring every detail to give your loved one a send-off that they would be proud of. Artisanal coffins, hand-selected flowers, and a wide-range of hearses can be combined to reflect the life you are there to celebrate.

Non-Traditional Cremations

The same can go for cremations. Your loved one’s ashes are the material connection between their memory and you, and how you create that is entirely your choice. While the traditional urn has remained a poignant symbol of loss, increasingly, directors have seen requests for ashes to be woven into anything from jewellery to vinyl records and even tattoos. Funeral arrangers are aware of the deeply unique relationship between everyone they work for and can do anything to ensure that connection is celebrated.
