My name is Eric Neuhaus, and as the owner of Cremation.Green, I've spent over 20 years guiding Texas families through some of their most difficult days. One of the first things I learned is that when you’re grieving, the last thing you need is a confusing price list or a sales pitch. That’s why my first priority is always clarity.
When a family calls me asking about the cost, they’re really asking, “Can I trust you to take care of my loved one with dignity, at a price that is fair and clear?” The answer has to be yes.

Our guide to cremation pre planning makes it simple. Learn how to handle costs, legal documents, and communicate your wishes to protect your family.

Thinking about what happens after we're gone isn't exactly a favorite pastime for most of us. But taking a little time to pre-plan your own cremation is one of the most thoughtful and practical gifts you can leave for your family. It’s a way of taking care of them one last time.

Pre-planning is simply the process of making arrangements—and often, paying—for your cremation services ahead of time. It’s about making your wishes crystal clear, which removes the emotional and financial weight from your family’s shoulders. You also get to lock in today's prices, which is a significant financial relief.

The funeral industry is currently experiencing a notable shift. One of the biggest changes is the type of disposition options that are offered. Not long ago, most people had four options: traditional burial, natural burial, traditional flame cremation and direct flame cremation.

Concerns over the economical and ecological cost of traditional funeral services motivated innovative engineers to devise two more options: water cremation and natural organic reduction (NOR), also known as human composting. As with almost anything, people were a little hesitant to embrace the new concepts for disposition. And of course, there were special interest groups, like casket makers, with a vested interest in convincing people they needed to stick with the way things have always been done, even if it’s not the best financial or eco-conscious decision.

But all good ideas eventually catch on, and that’s what is happening with water cremation and human composting.
