The Greener Globe Funeral Awards, a new and environmentally conscious initiative, aims to protect the environment while serving the bereaved. Having been serving the local Newton Abbot and Ashburton communities for over 175 years, Christophers’ Family Funerals work hard to reduce their carbon emissions and provide green and sustainable funeral services for all.
They have been consistently committed to becoming greener in their efforts across all areas of the funeral arranging process.
Their Green & Woodland Burial options offer a serene and eco-friendly alternative to traditional funeral services. These burials take place in natural wooded areas, emphasising environmental sustainability.
Tom Meek, Funeral Director and Managing Director of Christophers’ Family Funerals, had this to say about the achievement: "We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Bronze Greener Globe Funeral Award. This recognition highlights our dedication to providing families with greener funeral options that not only pay tribute to their loved ones but also contribute to protecting the environment.”
“At Christopher's Family Funerals, we understand that every family has different wishes and needs. This is why our range of green funeral services offers flexibility, allowing us to customise the services according to our client's unique preferences.
“We are honoured to lead the way in delivering environmentally responsible funeral services to the Newton Abbot, Ashburton and surrounding communities”
