Devon Green Burials & Funerals
A green burial, also known as a natural burial, is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burials or cremations.

The benefits of green burials include:

-Reducing carbon footprint
-Conserving resources
-Giving back to the earth
-Environmentally friendly coffins


Tom Meek, Funeral Director and Managing Director of Christophers’ Family Funerals, shared his thoughts: "We are committed to providing sustainable funeral options that benefit both the families we serve and the environment. With green and woodland burials, families can be comforted knowing that their loved ones will be placed to rest in a beautiful, peaceful location surrounded by wildlife. Christophers' Family Funerals' green and woodland burials are designed to provide a beautiful, respectful, and unique funeral for each individual.
All of our woodland and green burials can be tailored to suit personal preferences, whether the ceremony is religious, secular, or neither. Offering flexibility, most woodland burial sites do not have the strict time constraints often associated with traditional funeral locations.

"Our green funerals not only honour the lives of loved ones respectfully and uniquely but also contribute positively to our community by preserving natural resources and promoting ecological harmony. By embracing green funerals, we ensure that each service is a fitting tribute that also supports environmental sustainability."
With over 175 years of experience, Christophers’ Family Funerals have been serving the community with a wide range of funeral services, including traditional and non-traditional funerals and cremations. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their eco-friendly green funerals, which provide a beautiful and sustainable alternative for honouring loved ones. Thanks to their extensive experience, contacts, and connections within and around South Devon.
