Our Green Burial Services
At El Dorado Green Burial, we offer unique green burial services designed to honor your loved ones that are incredibly beautiful and meaningful. I work closely with families to create personalized and meaningful graveside service that fulfills their desire to honor their loved one in way that feels really good. I work with local musicians to accompany the graveside service which adds to the special unique experience of a graveside service. Below are simple inclusive packages but everything is negotiable. I am here to serve my community, families and individuals who need help and guidance through one of the most auspicious times in our lives.

I will also bring free Green Burial Planners to hand out.
***Available also are biodegradable caskets, urns and shrouds (gallery coming soon!).
Understanding The Home Funeral Option
Caring for our loved ones after they pass and burying them in the local cemetery was a normal custom historically. Even today its perfectly legal to care for our loved ones at home after death. It's legal even for a family to obtain a transportation permit bring them to the cemetery and have them buried. Of course you can always hire a funeral home who can provide this service but there are other options such as myself, or rather a funeral guide to help you navigate what can be done on your terms. I am also always happy to work with our local funeral directors and have done so in the past as we all want to serve our families in the best way possible and provide the options they need and want.
