Before meeting with a funeral director regarding your preference for a green or natural funeral, prepare with the following:
- Research funeral homes in your area and select one that is friendly towards natural burial. You can find a list of funeral homes that have taken steps to becoming greener through the Green Burial Council's Find a Provider link.
- Create a budget so you can talk about funeral costs up front. Be specific when looking at prices. For example, If you need help with transportation, ask how much that will cost. If you need help filing the death certificate, find out what their processing fee is. Remember, when you ask for a General Price List in-person or over the phone, funeral directors are obligated (by FTC regulations) to provide it to you. If you don't have the time or patience to call all the funeral homes in your area, quickly compare funeral prices along with funeral home ratings and reviews, using the eFuneral.com free funeral home comparison tool.
- Make sure you have any documents - legal or personal - that state the natural burial wishes of the decedent. If you do not have these, that's fine too. But if you do, the funeral director will ensure your loved one's wishes are honored.
- Remember that funeral directors are only there to help; to provide guidance and organization during what can obviously be a stressful, upsetting, and overwhelming time. When you find a funeral director with whom you feel comfortable, let them help you.
