Your carbon footprint could outlive you, according to an in-depth new study detailing how funerals are responsible for hundreds of thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions each year. Analysis from green funeral provider Full Circle Funerals and sustainability certification company Planet Mark reveals how UK cremations alone produced 66,162 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2021, with natural gas-powered operations - the most popular form of service - one of the biggest sources of emissions. . Despite cremations producing roughly the same emissions as powering more than 100,000 homes a year, the report found that funerals receive little environmental policy support or guidance from the government on how to decarbonise.
