Who We Are | Passages International, Inc.

Passages, founded in 1999, is a family owned and operated business, and we have over 75 years of combined service to the funeral industry. We began the company by providing affordable and environmentally friendly options for families who chose to have a more eco-conscious ritual for their loved ones.

While many companies now offer some green funeral merchandise, Passages is dedicated to providing sustainable choices. We design and produce many of our own products, and stand behind them. Passages offers the most complete selection of sustainably produced and biodegradable urns, caskets, and memorial products.

We are proud to be approved by Green America as a socially and environmentally responsible business. We are also a member of the Green Burial Council, an organization working to make burial more meaningful, simple, and sustainable.
