We believe that the final chapter of life should reflect the values held dear during one’s time on Earth. For individuals who have embraced a sustainable lifestyle and wish for their legacy to continue in harmony with the planet, we are proud to offer our Eco-Friendly Cremation Package: a compassionate, conscious, and environmentally respectful alternative to traditional burials.
Conventional burial practices often come with a hidden ecological cost. The use of hardwood caskets, concrete vaults, and metal components involves the extraction and processing of natural resources, contributing to deforestation and environmental degradation. In addition, the embalming process introduces harmful chemicals into the earth, which can seep into groundwater and disrupt delicate ecosystems.
What is ecological cremation?
Cremation presents a lower-impact choice, significantly reducing the need for non-renewable materials and avoiding soil contamination. For those looking to make environmentally responsible decisions even after death, our cremation and memorial packages in Pérez Zeledón offer a meaningful way to honor both the departed and the Earth.
Our Eco-Friendly Cremation Package includes a biodegradable urn, made from recycled and organic materials. This special urn is designed to naturally return ashes to the soil, allowing them to become part of the life cycle once again.
Adding a deeply personal and living tribute, each Eco Package also comes with a Rocío de Oro shrub. This vibrant, evergreen plant can be grown in pots or planted directly in the ground, reaching up to one meter in height. Families have the beautiful option of placing some of their loved one’s ashes in the soil that nourishes the shrub, creating a living memorial that blooms year-round and offers a place for reflection and connection.
And, with every Eco-Cremation Package purchased, we donate to Fudebiol, a respected organization dedicated to conserving water sources and protecting natural areas at the Centro Biológico Las Quebradas, located in the heart of Pérez Zeledón. This contribution ensures that the choice of a green farewell leaves a positive, lasting impact on the environment.
