What is an Eco-friendly Burial or Green Funeral?
A green burial emphasizes simplicity and environmental sustainability. Instead of being prepared with chemicals such as embalming fluids, the body is simply placed in a shroud and interred without a casket or concrete burial vault. The grave is then allowed to return to nature. The aim is a natural return to the earth. It truly reflects an “ashes to ashes, dust to dust” burial philosophy.
Green burials are not new. Most burials prior to the mid-19th century were conducted this way. Green burials are experiencing a return in choice for several reasons including simplicity, lower costs, conservation of natural resources, elimination of hazardous chemicals, and preservation of natural areas.
Green burials have been an important part of the Casper service offering for years. The Casper team complies with all requirements necessary to provide an easy-to understand process and procedure for individuals and families seeking this ecological burial choice.
Green burials are legal in Massachusetts and throughout New England. State laws do not require the use of a casket, grave liner or burial vault. Each cemetery develops their own rules and regulations about the kind of burial that is allowed in their cemetery.
Long recognized as one of New England’s premiere funeral and burial professionals, the Casper team’s proven expertise, experience, knowledge, and A+ Better Business Bureau rating inspire consumer confidence and certainty that we are the right choice to manage your green burial needs — and we do all this at a surprisingly reasonable cost.

Boston Eco Friendly Burial Review
“Kenneth Casper went above and beyond to assist me in the most difficult of times. When my Mother died, I was notified at 11:04pm. Two hours later it was Kenneth who provided explanations, patience, kindness, knowledge, and solutions. Kenneth and I exchanged a number of calls over the next two days. He was exactly what my sister and I needed. He was honest, kind, knowledgeable, patient, understanding, and provided us with our last visit with our Mother before cremation. My Mother looked beautiful and peaceful, she was in respectful and caring hands with Casper.”
