Many families are now thinking about how funeral arrangements fit with their wider values, including caring for the environment. Jackson Family Funeral Directors offers a range of sustainable funeral choices so that you can plan a service that feels meaningful and mindful of its impact.
We have also recently added a new environmentally conscious hearse to our fleet. You can read more about this in our earlier announcement on the new electric hearse.
Sustainable funeral options available
Choosing a sustainable funeral is about making clear, informed decisions that reflect your priorities. The options we offer include:
- Eco-friendly coffins made from natural materials that break down more easily. These are an alternative to traditional wood or metal options. For more information on materials and standards see the Green Funeral Guide.
- Biodegradable urns for cremation, which allow ashes to return to the earth in a way that aligns with natural processes. Learn more about biodegradable options.
- Natural burial options at sites where conservation and minimal environmental impact are standard practice. We can guide you in choosing a natural burial site that suits your wishes.
- Lower-impact cremation services that consider factors such as reduced emissions and fuel use.
These choices are practical ways to shape a funeral that reflects both celebration of life and environmental consideration.
Our eco-friendly hearse
Our new hearse expands the options available to families who want a lower-impact funeral procession. This vehicle has been chosen for its improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared with older models. It offers a respectful and dignified way to honour a life while also being considerate of environmental impact.
By introducing this vehicle, Jackson Family Funeral Directors aims to offer sustainable alternatives without compromising the care and professionalism families expect. More about our electric hearse.
Why sustainable choices matter
TSustainability may have different meanings for different families. For some it is about climate and environmental responsibility. For others it is about aligning personal values with life’s important moments. Good information helps you make choices that feel right.
We always offer clear guidance on options, including:
- What each choice means in practice
- Any implications for the funeral service itself
- Transparent information on pricing
This helps you make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
