Fancy learning about water cremation & human composting?

Fran spoke with Steve Dyson in the latest 'Aston Means Business' Podcast series, chatting through the challenges of making a funeral green and why it's so important to our company's values.🌱

🎙️The future is green - even for funerals

@newundertaking is making the move towards greener funerals with electric hearses and cardboard coffins.

They recently benefitted from the @AstonUniversity Green Advantage course.

People often refer to us as angels here at A Natural Undertaking, but we think there's nothing more angelic than our four legged team members 🐶 - as it's #InternationalDogDay we thought we'd share some pics with you - feel free to send us yours!

Our phone number is porting to another supplier today - fingers crossed it all goes smoothly but it’s possible it won’t be available at some point - we’re here for messages and emails though and can call you back if you need us to.

#Recycling helps to protect our planet and every living thing on it by reducing waste, conserving energy and protecting natural resources. Our cardboard coffins are made from over 70% #recycled material, significantly cutting down on the need for raw wood pulp in their production

[A Natural Undertaking @newundertaking]

It's #GreatBigGreenWeek we want to share the lovely gesture that our local florist Carole @TuckshopFlowers made for one of our families.
Providing seeds from the coffin spray so they can plant them at home.

We couldn't make it last month but we're really excited to be back at Kings Heath Artisan Market in York Road on Sunday - set to be their biggest (& possibly hottest🌞) market yet.

Please do come and chat to us - we look forward to seeing you there🌻

@Kagey_infohub @bordesleygreen Not quite the kind of ritual we’re usually asked for - but we can always see what the ‘Canal and River Trust’ say for you 😂😬

[A Natural Undertaking @newundertaking]

Calling all #Birmingham teachers!

111 children/day lose a parent, yet little support is provided to schools to help them cope.

Waseley Crem & John Adams @NAFDPresident are asking teachers to join them to discuss how help can be provided.
