Green Cremations and Funerals

What Types of Cremation Services are Available?

There are two main types of cremation services that are available: Direct Cremation, or a Cremation with a Full Service Funeral. 


  • Direct Cremation - A Direct Cremation is a cremation only, with no funeral service. The loved one's Ashes are returned to the family following the cremation. 


At Environmentally Friendly Cremations, clients can choose to have a Direct Cremation that is either a Water Cremation, or an Eco-Cremation. 


  • Cremation with a Full Service Green Funeral - Our funeral directors manage Green funeral services for clients who wish to have a full funeral service, in addition to a cremation. 


Clients considering this option can also choose either a Water Cremation, or an Eco-Cremation. 

Water Cremation, by Aquamation

What is Water Cremation, by Aquamation?

Environmentally Friendly Cremations offers Water Cremation, by Aquamation. We operate in the Melbourne and Sydney areas.


  • Water Cremation is a natural process that produces less than 10% of the carbon emissions of traditional fire cremation.


  • Water Cremation uses a process that is scientifically known as Alkaline Hydrolysis.


  • Following a Water Cremation, your loved one's remains are returned to you in an urn in the form of 'Ashes', as with cremation.


Water Cremation has become very sought after in the United States and Canada for it's environmental benefits.

 

Water Cremation, by Aquamation, is a proudly Australian innovation, and was a 2015 finalist in the prestigious Australian Technologies Competition.

Eco-Cremation

Eco-Cremation - Minimising the Impact of Cremation

Environmentally Friendly Cremations has Eco-Cremation available.


Eco-Cremation is traditional fire cremation with actions taken to minimise and compensate for it's environmental impact.


Environmentally Friendly Cremations uses eco-coffins made from recycled cardboard that combust more quickly during cremation resulting in fewer carbon emissions.


We also provide Carbon Offsets for every Eco-Cremation. The Carbon Offsets include tree planting in Australia with a range of local tree species.


  • As these trees grow, they absorb or sequester carbon dioxide. 


  • These trees also help to replace forests for native animals whose habitats have been destroyed by human industries.


Eco-Cremation is a dignified, affordable and environmentally friendly funeral option.
