We are the first to admit that the American funeral industry is far from sustainable. Much more work needed to create an industry that is focused on the ecological and environmental impacts of dying. Clarity is prepared for the challenge. Conversations on sustainability are built into every decision we make, from the services we offer to the vehicles we use. Sometimes the removal of common industry practices (like embalming, paperwork, and plastics) can actually improve the experience of our families and fit with our goals of sustainability. We are greener than other funeral homes, but that is not the end goal. We will continue to push ourselves to be leaders and examples of what is possible in the industry.
Cremation is a vital, low cost option for our families and we are proud to offer it at Clarity. We are mindful that cremation does produce carbon in the atmosphere. To offset cremation’s impact on our environment, we purchase carbon offsets from Forterra and are involved in tree planting efforts to sequester carbon.
More conventional funeral and burial practices involve burying natural resources such as wood, metal, and concrete below the earth. In addition, the body is embalmed, adding toxic chemicals to the mix. With the Terramation services and natural burial we offer at Clarity, this removes the need for natural resources, and directly reduces the environmental impact of traditional funeral practices.
Our viewings count on family involvement and personal touches to create a loving, warm environment. We do not offer or promote metal or lacquered hardwood caskets or embalming with formaldehyde. Our viewings will use a white sheet draped cremation casket or an eco-casket. Your loved one will be prepared with minimally invasive, non-chemical methods.
Our paperless signing system for the documents required for cremation and burial does two things. One it reduces our physical paperwork, plain and simple. Second, it makes it possible for families to sign from anywhere, reducing miles driven and creating a less stressful experience.
