*From Mary Woodsen of Cornell University and Greensprings Natural Preserve in Newfield, New York:
Everyone at Eco Warriors has the goal of ending the end-of-life pollution problem by giving access to affordable eco-friendly funeral supplies to the general public, all while still maintaining the traditional relationship between funeral suppliers and funeral directors.
The times are changing, and so is the ecological mindset of grieving families. We simply ask that we all step into a more eco-friendly future of deathcare together.
