The Green Burial Council (www.greenburialcouncil.org) is a nationally recognized, non-profit organization working to encourage sustainability in the funeral service profession. The council offers certification programs for burial grounds, funeral homes, and funeral products. Certification is awarded to funeral providers that demonstrate compliance with the established Green Burial Council standards designed to create sustainable practices in the funeral industry and to preserve and steward land through burial.
“We are pleased to announce Green Burial Council certification for our Nature’s Way Natural and Terra green burial and cremation containers,” remarked Justin Davis, Starmark’s Director of Marketing and R&D. “Our team at Starmark is focused on providing innovative solutions for funeral professionals. There is a growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly funeral services such as green burial and green cremation including biodegradable urns. Starmark will continue to introduce additional products that will enhance funeral service while further reducing its impact on the environment.”

These containers offer high eye appeal, are environmentally responsible, and are strong, yet lightweight. For funeral professionals, these products bring about new opportunities for green burial and cremation services, simple and private family farewells as well as identification viewings which research proves are preferred by informed consumers instead of “no view” final dispositions.
