The Geib Funeral Homes, Crematories & Remembrance Centers of Dover and New Philadelphia have earned accreditation as the region's first approved provider of natural burial products and services by the Green Burial Council.
A special preview of our green, or natural burial, products and servics is set for this upcoming Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 6:30 PM in the Geib Funeral Center at Dover.
The evening program will feature the introduction of environmentally friendly, biodegradable caskets, burial shrouds and urns, including products made from bamboo and recycled materials.
We've sourced some casket manufacturing from local artisans in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of our products.
Jennifer Quinn, the steward of Foxfield Preserve, Ohio's first nature preserve cemetery located in The Wilderness Center at Wilmot, just nine miles from the Geib Funeral Center, will be on hand to detail the conservation and ecological efforts underway at Foxfield Preserve. Quinn will discuss the nature preserve concept and how it blends environmentally into the Center's mission as a conservation organization.
Geib is this region's first provider to have earned accreditation from the Green Burial Council for its offering of conservation minded burial products and services. "The Geib organization is demonstrating visionary leadership in funeral service by embracing the consumer-driven trend toward eco-friendly burials" said Joe Sehee, executive director of The Green Burial Council.
This Geib-In-Touch event is free and open to the public, however reservations are recommended in order to properly prepare refreshments and seating. Please RSVP by telephoning (330) 343-5506 or by e-mail at info@geibfuneral.com.
