What Is Green Burial in Madison, Ohio

Green burial, also known as natural or eco-friendly burial, minimizes environmental impact by avoiding embalming chemicals, using biodegradable caskets or shrouds, and skipping traditional concrete burial vaults or liners. The goal is to return the body to the earth in the most natural way possible while still providing a dignified, meaningful service for the family.

Our Green Burial Options

Behm Family Funeral Homes offers several natural burial packages. Our earth-friendly services include preparation with formaldehyde-free and biodegradable fluids for families who wish to have a public viewing, private viewings without embalming or use of toxic chemicals, biodegradable caskets made from sustainable materials, natural fiber burial shrouds, and burial without concrete vaults or liners where cemetery regulations allow.

Green Burial Council Recognition

Behm Family Funeral Homes is recognized by the Green Burial Council, a nonprofit organization that encourages environmentally sustainable burial practices. This recognition confirms our commitment to providing families with verified natural burial options that meet established environmental standards.

Combining Green Burial with Other Services

A green burial does not mean a service without meaning or ceremony. Families can combine natural burial with a full funeral service, a life celebration, a graveside ceremony, or a memorial gathering. Wildflower seed pouches, memory tables, and personalized tributes can all accompany a green burial. For more about our traditional options, visit our burial services page.
