A Responsible First Step

No pressure. No obligation.

Why choose responsibly?

Your values
don’t have to end

Every cremation produces emissions. Carbon-neutral cremation means we don't look away from that fact. We measure it, account for it, and offset it.

Emissions calculated

We measure the full carbon footprint of each cremation. No estimates.

Offsets verified

We select verified environmental programs that match the measured impact.

Always carbon-neutral

Every cremation with Everis is offset, on record and traceable.

Understanding the difference

Environmental values don't
have to stop at the end of life

Traditional burial carries an environmental footprint that’s easy to overlook. Cremation can reduce that impact. Carbon-neutral cremation goes further.

A living legacy

What happens after cremation?

Memorial Forests honor life differently. Return ashes to the earth in a living forest.

Your Everis plan includes a Spreading Grove. For something more personal, a Memorial Tree gives family a place to return—rooted in nature they loved.

A lot of families find that once they discover Memorial Trees, the decision gets a lot easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?

Start with a call. You don’t need to have anything figured out first. A Guide will ask a few questions, answer yours, and by the end you’ll have a much clearer picture—even if you don’t do anything else that day.

Everything: transportation, carbon-neutral cremation, all paperwork, an interactive obituary, a resting place in a Spreading Grove, a Nature Memorial ceremony, a Memorial Marker, estate settlement assistance, and ongoing grief support.

A Spreading Grove is a shared natural resting place included in your Everis plan. A Memorial Tree is your own dedicated tree—a private, permanent place for multiple family members and pets, starting at $5,900.

Many families come to us months or even years after a loss. Ashes can be placed at a Memorial Tree or Spreading Grove at any time. Your Guide will take care of everything from there.

Absolutely. Preplanned arrangements can be modified as life changes. We understand that preferences evolve over time.

No. When you preplan and prepay with Everis, everything is locked in. Your family won’t face financial decisions or unexpected costs during grief.
