Green Burials in Plymouth, MI

Green burial, also known as natural burial, is a way of returning the body to the earth without the use of toxic chemicals or non-biodegradable materials. This includes a simple, biodegradable casket or shroud and the use of a natural setting, such as a meadow or woodland, for the burial site.


Our green burial services include:


  • Use of biodegradable caskets or shrouds made of natural materials such as bamboo, willow, or cotton
  • Burial in a natural setting, such as a conservation cemetery or nature preserve
  • No embalming or vault required
  • Use of native plants and trees to mark the gravesite
