A Greener Funeral Program and Website
aGreenerFuneral.org is a public service website sponsored by Passages International to expand consumer awareness and provide education about greener funerals, greener burials and greener cremations. It includes a searchable database listing of funeral homes that are prepared to serve families who demand natural or environmentally sustainable choices.
Become a listed Partner Provider on aGreenerFuneral.org by joining the A Greener Funeral (AGF) program. Our staff works closely with you to create a custom Partner package that will meet your specific requirements.
Joining the AGF program gives your business a number of benefits. In addition to a free listing on aGreenerFuneral.org, you will receive:
- Lowest published pricing on all items for your initial order
- Free ground delivery on all Passages orders of over $250
- Free informational booklets to give to families about green funerals
- AGF Greenleaf emblem to display on site and online
- A framed certificate identifying your firm as a Partner Provider
Being listed on aGreenerFuneral.org does not imply that all of your business is green. But it does indicate that you are able to serve families who desire greener options. Being included as part of the AGF program will help families who are interested in natural or sustainable end-of-life ritual options easily locate you as their local Partner Provider. It means you offer a range of Passages products and have some knowledge about providing services that complement them.
Your inclusion in the AGF program will give you a direct link to families who might desire a biodegradable casket made of willow, or a beautiful biodegradable urn. They may want an entirely green funeral or just want to incorporate an “element of green” to reflect their love of nature through some part of the ritual. Being an AGF Partner allows you to add another segment to your customer base, by expanding your geographic market area and clientele. It also allows your business to more effectively and profitably serve those families that may not be fully satisfied with the options you currently have available. A GreenerFuneral.org is your pathway to new marketing opportunities, greater media exposure and enhanced sales.
The number of families who are concerned with the environment is rapidly increasing. Even in 2007, 21% of Americans over the age of 50 were found to prefer an eco-friendly end-of-life ritual. Now, more than ever, the number of families who identify in some way with greener lifestyles are looking to reflect their concern for the environment through the memorialization of their loved ones’ life. Funeral and memorial products constructed from natural and biodegradable materials help them share their philosophy in a meaningful way.
AGF is intended to complement other green funeral certifications and organizational programs.
Partnership only requires certain annual product purchase levels, based on the size of your company, with many additional benefits and no additional fees.
