Cremation is a common funeral choice around the world, but many families are now seeking ways to make it more sustainable and meaningful. One simple, beautiful way to honour your loved one while reducing environmental impact is by using a biodegradable burial shroud during cremation.
Crafted from natural, plant-based fabrics, cremation shrouds offer a respectful and eco-friendly alternative to conventional caskets and containers. Unlike metal or synthetic cremation boxes, these organic funeral shrouds leave behind no toxins or pollutants, making them a greener option for families committed to environmental values.
Beyond their ecological benefits, shrouds for cremation provide a soft, natural cocoon that honours the body with dignity and care. At Sanctum, our shrouds are tinted with gentle plant-based dyes and infused with proprietary botanical scents, creating a soothing, aromatic experience that supports families through the ritual of goodbye.
Whether you’re planning a green cremation, natural burial, aquamation, or human composting (NOR), a biodegradable shroud adds a layer of intention, sensory comfort, and environmental stewardship to any farewell ceremony.
