Her presence truly made a challenging situation more manageable.dithyrambic J.dithyrambic J. ★★★★★ Excellent! 5 stars!When my father died, I had a terrible experience at the cremation place I chose. They sold me expensive urns, were not transparent with the prices and were not that sympathetic in our time of need.When my mom passed away, I was worried that I would have a similar experience and I did my research looking at reviews. Cremation Green had excellent reviews so I decided to use them. I had called around and they were the most pleasant and helpful on the phone of any of the other businesses.My mom passed away in my home And they came and were so professional and lovely to deal with. They made the process super easy with the website and when I needed help filling out forms, I texted them and they immediately responded. They were soft and kind, which is what you need during these hard moments. I paid for the UPS delivery and the mortuary Director actually came out personally to hand-deliver my mother. She was so lovely and sweet. This is erased my past bad memory of my father’s cremation. Appreciate them so much!Christina S.Christina S. ★★★★★ Very professional and caring services.

Not only was this the most affordable but also the most eco friendly. Marlena was wonderful and patient and really helped me get exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Green Cremations.Roxanne O.Roxanne O. ★★★★★ It was a Sunday afternoon, and I was sitting in the hospital with my dear husband who had just begun receiving hospice care. I was so grateful that finally, he was receiving comfort care and that he could rest comfortably and not deal with constant pain. All I wanted to do was sit with him, hold his hand and talk to him, and not think about funeral arrangements. The hospice worker was wonderful, and before leaving, provided me with a list of different funeral homes, but I only glanced at a few places online. Two hours later my husband passed away and I realized I had to make a decision, so I called Cremation Green, the only place I’d looked at online that had no negative reviews. It was a Sunday evening, but Marlaena Gonzales answered the phone herself, and immediately, not only eased my fears and anxiety but surprised me by not asking me to do a single thing. She was soft spoken, kind, and comforting, and only asked that I tell the nurse that I would be using Cremation Green for my husband’s arrangements. She explained that the hospital would provide all the necessary information and then Cremation Green would handle everything. She also said that I would receive a text the following day with a link to their website, and the forms that needed to be filled out, but that I could complete them when I felt up to it. She was amazing! There was no pressure to do anything immediately and certainly no pressure to purchase any goods or services. The Cremation Green website lists the services and products they offer and all the prices are clearly stated. You can put together the package you want, the cost is always exactly what is stated, and their pricing is very reasonable. Also, if your loved one is a Veteran, Cremation Green ensures that you get a beautiful, military-folded American flag. Everything is done online. I worried about that, as I’m a bit technologically challenged, but Marlaena was a simple phone call away, whenever I had a question. She ALWAYS answered the phone herself, and she patiently and kindly explained things. I was never put on hold, nor did I have to be subjected to options when I called. I can’t thank Cremation Green and Marlaena enough, for their courtesy, kindness and professionalism. I feel that the best compliment I can give them is to use them for my final arrangements, which I plan to do in the very near future.Margaret F.Margaret F. ★★★★★ I used Green Cremation to help me with my wife's wishes. It went very smoothly. I got the death certificates quickly and the cremation was handled promptly and everything happened with care. Very thankful.Loddie A.Loddie A. ★★★★★ Marlegna was amazing. She helped me easily take care of the details of my wife's cremation which was wonderful considering I was beyond bereft. I've had to deal with 2 other family funerals, in the last two years, and the funeral home was horrible. Green Cremation was simply the best. God Bless them for everything.Kenny S.Kenny S. ★★★★★ My husband passed away, I was absolutely distraught and completely new to funeral planning or anything to deal with a loved ones death. When I contacted Green Cremation, they were so completely considerate and kind to me. They made the process as painless as possible. I’ll always be grateful for how they treated me and my husband with the utmost care and respectJesse V.Jesse V. ★★★★★ Exceptional professionalism, respect and kindness in a time when I needed the most.

When i called her all my thoughts were a mess inside my head. I cried and rambled on about my daughter and about what i thought she would like and Melissa LISTENED to me. She then helped me with what i wanted to do for my daughter. She wasn't fazed at all when i wanted to change something, she just made it happen.

Live Oak Funeral Home That Makes Prices Affordable and Predictable

Even if you get an itemized price list, as is required by federal law, that doesn’t mean Live Oak funeral costs will be clear while arrangements are being made. Some fees you didn’t think would be part of a service somehow become essential. Or the upsales start right after services are selected. And don’t forget an item may have a price range.

Cremation.Green takes the ambiguity out of funeral costs with all-inclusive pricing and the ability to get a custom quote on our website. Every situation is unique, but everyone can benefit from Live Oak funeral services that are affordable and prices are predictable.

100% Digital Funeral Home

Mother working on netbook near sleeping daughter

A modern funeral home that’s revolutionizing the way the industry works.

The funeral industry is notorious for being behind the times, and many funeral homes want to keep it that way. Their business model is built around traditional burials and cremations services that are excessive and exceedingly expensive.

Cremation.Green is a different kind of funeral home. We were the first carbon neutral funeral home in Texas that has expanded funeral options in the state. We’re also an all-digital funeral home that can arrange Live Oak funeral services without requiring the family to come in for a consultation. Easy, convenient, affordable – the way funeral services should be.

Losing a loved one is difficult, working with a funeral home shouldn't be.

Greener Funeral Options in Live Oak

Live Oak funeral options were limited to traditional burial, cremation and direct cremation before Cremation.Green expanded into the San Antonio metro. Cremation.Green is not only dedicated to protecting the rich environment of Texas, but also allowing all families to get the funeral services they need for closure. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to be a part of the movement that is improving the funeral industry so that disposition costs us all a lot less.

Flame Cremation

Flame Cremation Services in Live Oak

If you are interested in traditional flame cremation but would like an option that’s more eco-friendly, our clean flame cremation is ideal. From the type of fuels that are burned to using hybrid vehicles for transport, we go above and beyond to lower the eco footprint of our flame cremation service.

Water Cremation

Live Oak Water Cremation Services

Water cremation is even more environmentally-friendly than clean flame cremation, plus you’ll receive more cremains. It’s a gentle process that replicates the decomposition that happens after burial. But water cremation produces no ground pollution, water pollution or air pollution.

Natural Burial

Natural Burial in Live Oak

Live Oak residents can be buried the same way Texans were laid to rest over 150 years ago. Our natural burial services are more affordable while still being just as meaningful as traditional burial. Families can hold a viewing and funeral services before burial in a plain wooden casket or shroud the way it was done for centuries.

Natural Organic Reduction

Live Oak Natural Organic Reduction Services

The newest form of disposition is now available through Cremation.Green. We can arrange natural organic reduction (NOR) services with our partners that are experts in creating healthy soil from humans. You’ll be giving something back to the earth rather than taking away from it when you choose NOR.
