The Green Funeral Company

CREMATIONS

Cremation is one of the most common funeral choices in the UK, and at The Green Funeral Company we believe all funerals should be carried out with care, thoughtfulness and individuality...

Cremations in Devon and Cornwall

Based near Totnes in South Devon, we support families across Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay, Newton Abbot, Ashburton, and the wider South Hams, as well as into Cornwall, to arrange cremations that feel personal, natural, and environmentally conscious.

A Personal Approach To Cremation
Choosing cremation does not mean you have to follow a set pattern or traditional template. We encourage families to create a farewell that reflects the life of the person who has died, whether that is a quiet gathering at home before the cremation, a ceremony at the crematorium chapel, or something more unconventional outdoors in a woodland, meadow, or community hall...
With the ceremony held elsewhere with an attended, or non-attended, cremation afterwards, more time can be given to the ceremony and can also permit greater creativity, allowing the space to be made more personal. If you chose to hold a ceremony at the crematorium, we understand they can feel impersonal and intimidating and have a "conveyor belt" reputation, but this need not be the case. We can help you to reclaim this space and create a meaningful and individual ceremony.
Working With Local Crematoriums
We regularly work with crematoriums across Devon and Cornwall, including Exeter and Devon Crematorium, Efford and Weston Mill Crematoria in Plymouth, Torbay Crematorium in Torquay, and The Park Crematorium in Plymouth. Our role is to liaise with the crematorium on your behalf, ensuring the process is smooth, dignified, and aligned with your wishes.

Eco-Friendly Cremation Choices

Although cremation has an environmental impact, there are many ways to make it more sustainable:

  • Choosing biodegradable or sustainably sourced coffins.

  • Reducing unnecessary plastics, chemicals, or embalming.

  • Holding part of the ceremony in a natural outdoor setting.

  • Offsetting the carbon footprint of the cremation.

We will guide you through these decisions, helping you choose an option that feels right for your family and your values.
