Providing the most comprehensive collection of sustainably produced & biodegradable urns, caskets, and memorial products. was founded in 1999, as the now rapidly growing trend for greener funerals was at its earliest stage. While many companies now offer some green funeral merchandise, Passages is dedicated to providing sustainable choices. We design and produce many of our own products, and stand

behind them. Our quality and service are unsurpassed. The breadth of our offerings is unavailable anywhere else. We began the company by providing affordable and environmentally friendly options for families who chose to have a more eco-conscious ritual for their loved ones. Our urns offered an alternative to the cardboard and plastic box containing a loved oneโ€™s cremated remains that was typically given to grieving families who did not select an urn. Passages creates and distributes the best quality products, produced without cutting down trees. In addition, most of our products are crafted by hand from sustainable or recycled resources, using antique molds and centuries old techniques. We use recycled cardboard boxes with biodegradable peanuts for packing and shipping, and are proud to support several conservation organizations dedicated to preserving our pristine planet for future generations. Passages is a family owned and operated business, and we have over 75 years of combined service to the funeral industry. Our family has been serving the funeral needs of communities in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado for almost 50 years. We are proud to be approved by Green America as a socially and environmentally responsible business. We are also a member of the Green Burial Council, an organization working to make burial more meaningful, simple, and sustainable, and have been a member since their inception. We offer by far the greatest variety of product that has been approved by the Green Burial Council

A growing number of people are looking for greener funeral options. Passages offers the most complete selection of sustainably produced and biodegradable urns, caskets, and memorial products. We are dedicated to offering personalized options to families who desire environmentally friendly choices for their end-of-life rituals.

What do you get when caring for the planet crosses paths with the funeral industry? Our answer: Passages International. Taking care of Earth while offering dignified, sustainable memorial options for the families and loved ones of departed fellow humans is at the heart of what we do. This Earth Day, we are reminded just how inseparable those things are.

Caring for the planet means caring for humanity. We would not be here if not for the essential natural resources our planet provides us. At Passages, we are compelled to try our best to leave Earth in a better state than when we entered it for the wellbeing of future generations and the planet beyond our time. What better way to do that than allowing what's left of us to gently and naturally return to the earth when we're gone?

If you'd like your final act be one of compassion for the planet, then Passages is here to help. Visit our website or contact our team to start planning for a greener goodbye today.

Have you ever thought about becoming a tree when you die? With the Biotree urn by Passages International, you can! Cremated remains go in the bottom, tree goes in the top. Between them is a cocopeat disc that helps lower the pH level of the ashes. The urn itself is made from bamboo fibers and a plant based food-grade binding agent that will naturally biodegrade over time. Trees are carefully selected to grow harmoniously in your local area.

In 2007, Health Care Attorney Nathan Kottkamp founded National Healthcare Decisions Day - a day that calls on healthcare providers and the general public to address advance healthcare planning. The day encourages and empowers people to create advance healthcare directives so that personal wishes are observed when a health crisis or death occurs. Pre-planning reduces stress for family members and healthcare workers who might otherwise have to guess a patient's wishes if they can no longer communicate it themselves.

Advance healthcare planning also allows loved ones to know how you would like to be treated in each stage of your end-of-life care, including how you want to be memorialized. Whether that is burial or cremation, scattering or interment, resting above ground or below it, Passages International is here to help make any option you desire eco-friendly. Dying sustainably shouldn't be a cumbersome decision. That's why we're committed to providing thoughtful, sustainable options that honor both your wishes and the world you leave behind.

That's why Passages offers a variety of memorial products for the special animals in our lives. Whether they had a favorite walking spot or a river or beach they loved to cool off on, Passages has a biodegradable option that best suites the way your pet loved to live and the final journey you want them to have.

Since 1970, Earth Day has been celebrated as a day of appreciation for our planet, to raise awareness about environmental issues, and to take action toward building a more sustainable future. Here at Passages, we believe that caring for the environment isn't something that ends in our lifetimes, but extends beyond it after we pass away. Choosing green burial is a way to give back in death to the planet that provided so much for us in life. Passages International helps make green burial more accessible to people around the world, so that they can continue taking care of the earth even after they've left.

Want to offer green burial options to your customers? Get in touch to help them take steps toward building a better tomorrow, today.

Please join us in congratulating Passages CEO, Darren Crouch, for being invited to the 2026 TIME Earth Awards in London! In 2025, he was named a TIME100 Climate Leader, a title that is awarded to industry innovators driving measurable, scalable, and recent action against climate change. His work as a co-founder of Passages International and president of the Green Burial Council has helped reshape how the deathcare industry thinks about and integrates sustainable practices. He's played a significant role in shifting the industry's mindset from "why?" to "how?" when it comes to making green burial accessible.

Earning that title and sharing company with some of the world's other leading climate innovators at the Earth Awards is no small feat and the recognition is well deserved. Congratulations Darren on this immense accomplishment!

Every deceased person we love and miss had a unique story. The way they are memorialized after passing should be just as unique. Thatโ€™s why we offer a diverse range of biodegradable urns to reflect and embody the life of your dearly departed. Most urns come with a unique Etern.life code to geotag where you scatter, inter, or bury your loved oneโ€™s remains, so you can keep their story alive in the place they were laid to rest.

Whether youโ€™re looking to bury an urn in the earth or let it gently dissolve through a water burial, or to hold remains in something unconventional or more traditional, weโ€™ve got you covered.

Check out our website to learn more or start a conversation about which option may be right for you.
