Green Burial
At Alternatives, we are very proud to be one of only ten funeral homes in Canada that are 3-Leaf rated by the Green Burial Council of North America. We offer services and products that not only create a meaningful funeral or cremation experience, but that also minimize the overall environmental impact on Mother Earth.
We offer sustainable death care services that result in the reduction of carbon emissions, toxification, and waste. From caskets and urns made of biodegradable materials, to environmentally friendly embalming methods, and alliances with Green Certified cemeteries, we strive to aid in the reduction of carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, protect our staff and preserve our habitat.
