About
Report
In 2016, Karen van Vuuren and Daniel Ziskin were collaborating on a project to bring natural burial options to Boulder County. As part of the group, Green Burial Boulder County, Dan and Karen sat down to talk about possibilities. At the end of their conversation, Karen said, "It would be great to have a natural burial option, but what we really need is a green funeral home!"

Values & Ethics

Consumer Choice - one of our most important values. We founded The Natural Funeral to offer natural funeral services and a range of simple, natural, beautiful, locally made products at affordable prices.

Why Natural
Report
We believe that families have a right to choose more natural, ecologically sustainable funeral options. Most people do not know that many current deathcare practices are resource-intensive and harmful to the environment. Our mission is to minimize the impact of our final footprints at end of life. Until the Civil War, funeral practices in the U.S. were simple and in harmony with the earth.
