Eco Funerals
In today’s world, there are a variety of creative, colourful and planet-friendly ways to plan a funeral service. That’s why we created an eco-friendly option that will honour and fulfil all your wishes, without taking away from the earth.
Eco-friendly alternatives to embalming
Dressing and care
The person can be dressed using clothes made from natural fibres, and without shoes. Natural gowns or shrouds can also be used to reduce the environmental impact. We also have natural lotions and moisturisers which can be used to care for those in our care. Please give us a call if you have any questions and we’ll gladly talk you through the process.
Eco-friendly Coffin
Coffins made of natural materials such as pine, seagrass, willow, bamboo, banana leaf and cardboard are more natural alternatives to the traditional ones and will degrade naturally minimising impact on the environment.
Please click here to view our product options for natural coffins.
If you still prefer a traditional coffin, you may order it without decorative handles. Opting for a coffin with no plastic and lining it with natural material is another simple and efficient step to being kinder to the environment as well.
Eco-friendly Decorations
We can arrange with our florists to use bio-degradable oasis products, non- plastic wrappers and natural ribbons. We also ensure that frames are recycled where possible and message cards are made of recycled paper.
Natural burials
For those seeking out a completely green funeral, a natural burial is one of our most environmentally friendly options. The purpose of a natural burial is focused on returning the deceased to a more natural environment, such as a meadow or woodland. There are several natural burial locations in the region and some cemeteries also offer a greener area where natural burials can take place – we can look into this in your local area for you.
It’s also important to note that natural burial sites often have strict criteria which must be met and which may stipulate the use of bio-degradable coffins, no embalming and the planting of trees or wildflowers. These are natural areas so sometimes they will not offer all the facilities of traditional cemeteries.
To find out more about natural burials – please take a look at the very informative Natural Death Centre website: naturaldeath.org.uk or speak with one of our team
If you have any questions, please reach out to us on 0114 327 4936. We’d love to help you during this time and make the arrangements as easy and seamless as possible.

Norman Crapper
“I would like to thank the entire team at I Did It My Way Funerals for giving my mum a great send off. Our funeral director was so helpful and respectful. The whole day went like clockwork. I would also like to publicly thank our celebrant for a great service. Everyone attending said how wonderful the Eulogy was & how it was delivered. This is the first time I had to organise a funeral you helped me out all the way. Many thanks.”
