Welcome to Materia Prima-the 'ground' of all things...the first matter.

It is my intent to inform,educate and provide services for those interested in having or planning a green funeral for themselves or a loved one. And to help make informed decisions, with a funeral director or without. You will soon learn that it is important to participate in the funeral of a loved one. It provides a special connection , physically, emotionally and spiritually-a connection that is denied us in most traditional funerals.

Families now desire the need to deal with death and loss of a loved one more personally, themselves, without the need for a funeral director. A green funeral accomplishes that goal. A green funeral and burial returns us to the earth, naturally without toxic chemicals, like those used in traditional embalming and uses earth friendly bio-degradable coffins made of cardboard or wicker. Let's not forget about cremation! We came from dust, we return to dust. For those who wish to return naturally to the earth and become one...this blog is for you. Stay tuned....
