Natural Green Cremation is Available
The "Eco-Friendly" Green Cremation process involves placing the body in a silk bag
which is put in a stainless steel chamber. The chamber is filled with an alkaline solution,
which is heated under pressure. At the end of the process, remaining bone particles are
gathered and returned to the family. The process is very quiet, involves no emissions and uses a
small fraction of the fuel employed by traditional cremation facilities. Natural Green Cremation is a new,
better way of performing cremation.
