Ecological cremation: a farewell with less environmental impact
20 March, 2025Camposanto

More and more people worldwide are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact and live sustainably. However, we rarely think about the footprint we leave behind.

We have designed an environmentally friendly cremation package, designed especially for those who want their legacy to transcend in harmony with nature.

This proposal is for those who have led a sustainable lifestyle and are concerned about the environmental cost of a burial.

An environmentally ecological and conscious

Cremation is a less environmentally impactful option compared to traditional burial. Conventional burials require the use of caskets and vaults made of large amounts of wood, metal, bronze, and concrete. In addition, the embalming process uses chemicals that can be toxic as they leach into the ground and affect groundwater sources.

In contrast, cremation reduces the need for these materials and avoids the contamination of aquifers, making it a sustainable choice for those who want to remain responsible for the planet even after their departure.

Urn biodegradable: a final resting place in harmony with the Earth

The ECO Cremation Package includes a biodegradable urn, made from organic and recycled materials, allowing the ashes to be naturally reintegrated into the environment. Unlike conventional urns, this option respects the natural cycles of life, providing a farewell in line with conservationist principles.

A living tribute: the Golden Dew bush

As part of this special package, we deliver a Golden Dew bush. This beautiful plant with vibrant, evergreen foliage can be planted in pots or directly in the ground, reaching up to one meter in height. It is resistant to high and becomes a symbol of life, growth and renewal.

With this initiative, families can pay tribute to their loved ones in a meaningful and environmentally friendly way: they can plant in honor of the person who passed away and even put their ashes in the soil that supports and nourishes the plant.

Contributing to environmental conservation

But the urn and the shrub are not all the added value that the ECO Cremation Package offers.

At Funeraria Vida Eterna, we go beyond a sustainable farewell, ensuring a positive impact on nature conservation.

For each cremation performed, we make an economic contribution to Fudebiol, an organization dedicated to the protection of aquifers and natural areas in Las Quebradas Biological Center in Pérez Zeledón.

This center is a natural refuge that promotes environmental education and offers hiking and volunteer work. With this contribution, each cremation helps to preserve the biodiversity and water sources that biodiversity and water sources that sustain life in the region.

A legacy of respect and love for nature

Choosing the ECO Cremation Package is more than a personal decision; it is a manifestation of values and a tribute to nature. For foreigners who have found a home in Costa Rica, especially in places like Perez Zeledon, Dominical, Uvita and Manuel Antonio, this option represents a way to say good-bye with the same respect and love for the environment that they have shown during their lives.

With this package, Funeraria Vida Eterna offers a dignified and respectful farewell to the planet. Contact us if you wish to know the details of the package and the associated costs. We will be glad to assist you.
