We’re proud to announce that Howcrofts Funeral Services is now an official member of the Association of Green Funeral Directors — a meaningful step in our commitment to offering more eco-friendly funeral options to families across Skipton and the surrounding areas.

Craig recently accepted our membership certificate, marking our dedication to supporting environmentally conscious choices at every stage of the funeral planning process.

What Are Green Funerals?

Green or eco-friendly funerals aim to reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional funeral services. Whether it’s choosing a biodegradable coffin or holding a service in a natural woodland setting, green funerals allow families to honour their loved ones while also caring for the planet.

What Eco-Friendly Funeral Options Are Available?

At Howcrofts, we offer a range of sustainable options, including:

• Biodegradable coffins made from natural materials like cardboard, willow, and bamboo
• Woodland burials in beautiful, peaceful natural settings such as
  • Tarn Moor Memorial Woodland
  • Brocklands Woodland Burial

We work closely with families to ensure every detail reflects your wishes and values — whether that includes a simple, natural service or a more traditional arrangement with green alternatives.

Why This Matters

Becoming a member of the Association of Green Funeral Directors means we meet their standards for ethical and environmentally responsible practices. We’re here to support families who want to leave a lighter footprint while saying goodbye in a meaningful, personal way.

If you’re interested in exploring green funeral choices, please get in touch with our team — we’ll be happy to talk through the options with you.
