How do you plan a green funeral?

Before meeting with a funeral director regarding your preference for a green or natural funeral, prepare with the following:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Why do you have a funeral in a church than somewhere else?

Witnesses have 'memorials', which are public discourses, given from God's Word in Kingdom Halls (the places of worship for Jehovah's Witnesses), funeral homes or at the graveside. They do not have funerals in Churches. These memorial talks usually explain how death came to the human family thru Adam and Eve's sin. (Genesis Chapter 3) They then give comfort for the grieving ones, from the Bible, and then explaining how Jesus Christ taught his Father's will and then gave his life so that we could have everlasting life. (John 3:16, 17) This 'everlasting life' will be either in resurrection to Heaven serving with the resurrected Jesus Christ as kings and priests (Revelation 20:6), or as resurrected subjects on the cleansed Earth who will benefit from the blessing of the Heavenly Kingdom, in the near future. (Revelation 21: 3,4) The speaker then relates fond memories of the dead loved one and words of comfort for the grieving ones. Then, after a song of praise to Jehovah God, a closing prayer is given asking for God to strengthen those left behind.
