Amber Oaks Green Burial Section
At LNC we offer our new Amber Oaks green burial section.
We take great pride in being one of the only cemeteries in Illinois that offer a dedicated area designed for those who wish to honor their loved ones though environmentally conscious practices.
Why Choose a Green Burial?
Choosing a green burial reflects a deep commitment to environmental conservation. Traditional burials often use embalming fluids, metal caskets, burial vaults and other materials that can have a negative impact on the environment. In contrast, a green burials facilitate natural decomposition, allowing the body to return to the earth organically. Green burials have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional burials, allowing for a more sustainable future for your loved ones and future generations.
