The Seagrass

Evergreen Washelli is proud to offer The Natural Legacy green plans. These were designed with the intent to minimize our impact on the environment.

Our plans include eco-friendly, handcrafted Sea Grass and Willow caskets, which may be used for either burial or cremation. Each casket is hand-crafted by skilled weavers and features a natural cotton interior.  Also included in the earth-friendly package is a memorial or funeral service in our chapel, forget-me-not seed packets, plantable programs, and an online, paperless guestbook.

The Willow

Why willow or sea grass?  These plants are sustainable crops that grow quickly, require no fertilizer and are easy to harvest. In addition, willow plants can rehabilitate soil fertility and bird and insect habitat, as well as preventing erosion.

We have also introduced the zero-impact Savannah urn. With its handcrafted rattan and cotton materials and biodegradable packaging, it is a perfect choice for the ecologically-minded.
