Green Funeral Services

At Tribute Funeral Services, we are aware that people are concerned about sustainability and the environment. People wish to reduce their carbon footprint as much as possible, even when they pass. That is why Tribute Funeral Services offer green funerals in Melbourne (also known as eco-friendly or environmentally-friendly funerals). We offer families the option of selecting coffins made of recycled cardboard or of renewable plantation timbers, at an affordable price. Cardboard coffins for cremation are environmentally friendly.

Everyone deserves to have a dignified and proper funeral service, but not all funeral homes focus on providing families with a dignified experience. If you’re looking for a funeral home that offers the most dignified eco-funerals Melbourne has available, Tribute Funeral Services is the right choice. Our aim is to bring the focus back to the family and their needs during a difficult time. It’s not about our company or us, it’s about how we can help you make it through a painful time. If your loved one cared about the environment and wanted a dignified and eco-friendly funeral, we can help provide that experience.

Do you or your loved ones want to know more about eco-funerals in Melbourne? Do you think your loved one would have wanted to have a service that would minimize the impact on the environment?

Finding a funeral home capable of providing eco-friendly funerals is important, and it can be difficult to process such things during such a difficult time. We are capable of providing eco-friendly funerals for all different faiths.

If you need to learn about the kinds of eco-funerals Melbourne has available, we will be happy to help. We want to provide your loved one with a fitting memorial, and we will conduct the funeral with grace and understanding during such a painful time. Instead of getting lost in the many different funeral homes you can choose from, simply contact us and we will help take care of your needs.
