MKD funeral homes is proud to be one of a select number of funeral homes across the United States and Canada who meet the criteria for providing green funeral service by the Green Burial Council; a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization working to encourage environmental sustainability in the field of funeral service. These offerings allow for a funeral to take place without the use of toxic or non-biodegradable materials and chemicals. Merchandise for burial is made available to enclose and transport the deceased. Body preparation suitable for a green funeral service accommodated by MKD funeral homes consists of, but is not limited to, the use of refrigeration, topical sprays/ compounds, or non-toxic arterial embalming with these essential oils. Home wakes, public visitations, church funerals, and graveside services are options that may be arranged within the time frame and under Michigan law that a green funeral allows.
