Green Burial

Bohlender Funeral Chapel has several green burial options and is one of a select group of funeral providers approved by the Green Burial Council; a nonprofit organization that encourages the use of burial as a means of facilitating the restoration, acquisition and stewardship of natural areas. For such arrangements, formaldehyde-based embalming is prohibited as is the use of metal or concrete grave liners, burial vaults, or other permanent burial containers unless required by a conventional cemetery. Caskets, coffins, or alternative containers used to enclose and transport the deceased are made of bio-degradable materials. Home wakes, public visitations, church funerals and graveside services are options that may be arranged within the timeframe green burial allows. If a green burial is of interest to you we would be happy to speak to you about your options.
