KORU and COVID 19 (click here to read more)
KORU provides direct and tailored cremation, burial and ceremony services so that you can mourn and celebrate your dead your way.
KORU strongly supports and encourages Natural (Green) Funeral practices, which are practices that allow for a funeral to take place free from the use of toxic or non-biodegradable materials/chemicals. To meet these standards KORU offers and provides:
- Eco-Friendly caskets and shrouds to enclose and transport the dead for burial and cremation ceremonies.
- Essential, Natural Body Care of the Deceased with non-toxic, non-invasive practices (sanitation and temporary preservation using only non-toxic, biodegradable topical products – essential oils – and refrigeration).
- Private and public viewings, home vigils, wakes, church funerals and graveside ceremonies when the deceased has been cared for naturally (as described above).
Here are KORU’s sample packages to help with your planning.
Please also review KORU’s Additional Services and Caskets prices for more information.
