Respecting nature, the environment and your loved one’s wishes
As the world becomes more aware of human environmental impact, the requests for a natural burial or eco-friendly funerals are becoming more popular. Choosing a burial plot in woodland, opting for a biodegradable coffin, and choosing sustainable memorials are all options to consider if you are thinking of a greener funeral option.
​
At Derwentside Funeral Service, we have four funeral homes, and we cover the communities of Annfield Plain, Rowlands Gill, Consett, and Stanley. We always respect the wishes of the deceased and the deceased’s friends, family, and loved ones, and our eco funerals are no exception. We can help you to minimise the impact on the environment when the time comes to say goodbye.
​
Our funeral directors will take you through all the options available for a natural burial, or eco-conscious funeral, and we help you to make well-informed decisions. Get in touch with us now to find out more or just to chat with our caring and compassionate team.
