The Green Funeral Company

The Green Funeral Company began in 1999 under Rupert Callender and calls itself the original environmental undertaker, run by a small team of two. It offers burial and cremation as ecological choices, with natural burial sites including Sharpham, environmentally friendly coffins, shrouds and biodegradable urns. A human fronted version of direct cremation is available for those who want no ceremony. The team can also act as celebrants and hold the ceremony, and it has arranged funerals covering diverse religious and spiritual beliefs as well as non-religious ceremonies. One family described a service that blended Buddhist, shamanic and Methodist writings. Prices are published. The firm has featured in books and on television, and its coffin options, local crematoria and celebrant services each have a page. Rated 4.2 from five Google reviews. Opening hours are not posted.
