A note from me
After more than 20 years serving families across Texas, I’ve learned that the best care isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about quiet reliability, clear communication, and treating every person with dignity. My name is Eric Neuhaus, and at Cremation.Green, my team and I built our service on that simple principle. When families call us, they're looking for a partner they can trust completely, and that's what we provide.
What is a Private Crematory and Who Does It Help?
Our private crematory provides a secure, comfortable space for families who want to ensure every step of their loved one’s care is handled with respect. It’s designed for privacy and peace of mind, serving families throughout Austin, Central Texas, and statewide. Unlike many funeral homes that outsource this critical step, we own and operate our own luxury facility. This means your loved one never leaves our direct care, giving you an unbroken promise of security and dignity.
This service is for any family who values:
- Privacy and Security: Knowing every step is handled in a controlled, respectful environment.
- Peace of Mind: The certainty that your loved one is cared for by one dedicated team from start to finish.
- Accountability: Direct communication from the people personally overseeing the cremation.
With over 450 five-star reviews, we've become one of the highest-rated funeral homes in Texas because families appreciate this commitment to unwavering care.

Key Definitions
Private crematory: A crematory that is owned and operated directly by the funeral home, in our case Cremation.Green, where all cremation services occur on-site without involving third parties.
Eco-friendly cremation: Often called water cremation or alkaline hydrolysis, this is a gentle, low-impact process that uses significantly less energy and produces fewer emissions than traditional flame-based cremation.
What to Expect from Our Team
Families can expect professionalism, accessibility, and transparency from the moment they call. From the first phone call to the return of ashes, our focus is on your comfort, clarity, and respect for the person you've entrusted to us. We communicate every step, answer every question, and honor every life with the care they deserve. All services and regulations are aligned with the Texas Funeral Service Commission to ensure proper and ethical care.
Common Questions About Our Cremation Services

Our private, luxury crematory is the biggest difference. It ensures your loved one never leaves our care. Families tell us they chose us for our accessibility, our honesty, and the consistent communication they received from my team.

Yes, we provide water cremation, which is an environmentally conscious option. It's a gentle process that many families find comforting. You can learn more on our Water Cremation page.
What are your prices?
We believe in full transparency. All our costs are clearly listed on our Transparent Pricing page so there are no surprises.
A Quieter Benefit For Families Who Care About The Planet
While our focus is always on care and transparency, many families appreciate that our approach also offers environmentally conscious options. Through water cremation and other energy-efficient practices, we provide a way to honor a loved one while minimizing environmental impact.
Water cremation, or alkaline hydrolysis, uses over 90% less energy than flame cremation and has no direct emissions of harmful greenhouse gases. It’s a gentle and respectful choice that aligns with a life lived with care for the world we all share. We offer it as a thoughtful alternative, not a headline, for those who value it.
