Late that evening, while searching for a place that would truly honor her, we found Cremation.Green. We called close to 9 p.m., and Laci answered with such compassion and understanding. She immediately helped us make arrangements, and by the next morning, they sent a vehicle and our daughter was lovingly brought to their farm.
The experience was beyond what we could have hoped for. We were able to watch the entire cremation and send her off ourselves — something that brought immense peace and closure. The facility was modern, serene, and absolutely beautiful, with a viewing room designed in the warmest, most comforting way imaginable.
When we walked out with her ashes, the wind was softly blowing, and the trees and windmill seemed to wave us on. In that moment, we felt a deep sense of calm and gratitude.
We are forever thankful to Cremation.Green for creating such a sacred, dignified, and loving space for our little birdie’s farewell.

But it's not possible, because death, is part of the circle of life.
My dear husband unexpected passed away, I was in a state of shock, anger, sorrow, and every emotion you can imagine, I have to make funeral service arrangement.
We were thinking, I would be the first one to go due to my health challenges and he would take care of everything after I am gone, not the other way around.
Funeral home, is an interesting business to do business, in my search, Cremation.Green, shows me the human kindness is possible, thoughtfulness, friendly support & understanding what I am going through. Allow me to grieve while making this painful arrangement. I was given the space & support I didn't know I could receive by working with them.
Joseph is so wonderful, so kind, I can not thank him enough for everything he has done for me and my family. On the day of the service, he quietly supported us, even when I messed up the date of receiving my husband's ash, he told me, "I got you, I will meet you tomorrow." , I did not expect that but I am eternally grateful for the act of kindness.
Every business, needs make its living, to support & compensate its employees accordingly. Cremation.Green is very reasonable, no big sticker shock like some other big name funeral home ( almost sent me to heart attack ) , and I appreciate very much for the support, the kindness they offer me throughout the process.
Thank you all at Cremation.Green.
But it's not possible, because death, is part of the circle of life.
Just like the...
Thank you, Cremation.Green
Thank you! You made this difficult time for me a little bit easier🙏🏻
Highly recommended if your going through this situation and you need affordable options for cremation of loved one. Their prices are affordable compared to surrounding options.
My only suggestion to improve the experience is to rid of the "AI bot" that answers the phone when no one else can. It's confusing & frustrating and would probably be better to just have the phone keep ringing or a voicemail system.

I initially reached out to them back in April 2024 when my mother’s health was failing. I spoke to Maddie who was an absolute pleasure to talk too. I purchased an annuity for my mom’s funeral expenses in advance of her death.
When my mom passed a couple of weeks ago, hospice notified Green Cremation and the gentleman who arrived reminded me of a fine young coachman. He was very professional and came to pickup my mother’s body @ 12:30 in the morning. I didn’t realize they would come out to mom’s Assisted Living facility at that hour.
The next day I called to confirm my mother’s body was at their facility. The person I spoke with was very sympathetic and offered her condolences and assured me all would be handled. All the paperwork for the Death Certificate was emailed to me and returned via Docusign. The process was very easy and straightforward.
Today, I received a call from Jamie to inform me that my mother’s remains were ready to be shipped to my home. Jamie answered my many questions with so much patience, compassion and respect. I am beyond grateful to the amazing staff at Green Cremations. I highly recommend their services.
ation at all stages of our painful loss. The services provided were just what we needed. Thank you!





Our family had a lot to deal with and it was great that the cremation, death certificate, obtaining the ashes, etc were all so easy to do via Greens. Eric did a superb job and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services. Their pricing is quite reasonable and their service and caring attitude can't be beat.


We’re so glad we found Green Cremation Texas. I don’t know what we would have done otherwise. Thanks Melissa.

What to Expect With Natural Organic Reduction Services
Natural organic reduction is a revolutionary form of disposition that actually mimics natural decomposition that would occur over time if someone had a natural burial. Instead of being buried in the ground, the body is placed in a stainless steel vessel that’s been filled with wood chips, alfalfa, straw and special microbes with the ability to transform remains into soil. These microbes naturally occur on plant material and in our bodies.
Over the course of 5-7 weeks, the body inside the vessel is broken down by the microbes. Once the tissue has decomposed only the bones remain. They can be crushed up to be given to the family as cremains or added back to the soil for further decomposition.
Once the soil is removed from the vessel, it’s screened for non-organic materials such as hip implants or pacemakers. The soil is then allowed to dry and cure for an additional 3-5 weeks. Once the process is complete, the family can choose to use the soil to nourish trees and plants on their own property or donate the soil to organizations that use it in their conservation efforts.
Each body creates about one cubic yard of nutrient-rich soil.
