At James Falconer we offer Eco Funerals designed to honor your loved one in an environmentally responsible manner. Eco Funerals focus on sustainable practices, minimising environmental impact while providing a respectful and meaningful farewell.

What is an Eco Funeral?

An Eco Funeral is a ceremony that prioritises environmental sustainability. It includes choices that reduce the ecological footprint, such as biodegradable materials and natural burial methods, while celebrating the life of the deceased in a way that aligns with eco-friendly principles.

Sustainable Choices:

The ceremony incorporates environmentally friendly options, including biodegradable caskets, natural burial sites, and minimal use of non-renewable resources.

Eco-Friendly Practices:

We utilise practices that reduce the impact on the environment, such as using organic or recycled materials and supporting conservation efforts.

Personal and Meaningful:

The service is tailored to reflect the values and personality of the deceased, ensuring a personal and heartfelt tribute while adhering to eco-friendly principles.
