Demographics and shopping data consistently suggest that families find environmental concerns important and would consider a green funeral. We are already seeing Millennials making arrangements, but their hesitations around chemicals and material waste do not have to mean a direct disposition and a discount rate. Eco-friendly funeral offerings can provide engaging options to families that might previously have preferred direct scatterings.
