How much does green burial cost?

Quick answer · 0:38 · From Natural Options at the End of Life: Green Burial, Water Cremation & More · Recorded Oct 22, 2026

Short answer

There is no single price. It depends on the cemetery and the funeral home. Twin Cities cemeteries that offer green burial include Oak Hill, Mound, Roselawn and Resurrection. To compare funeral homes fairly, ask each one for its immediate burial price.

Key points

  • Mound and Resurrection are certified by the Green Burial Council.
  • Roselawn and Resurrection have or are building prairie sections.
  • Compare funeral homes on immediate burial pricing.

They’re part of the Catholic cemeteries in Mendota Heights, and they are also certified by the Green Burial Council, and they have what Roselawn is working on, which is a prairie section of the cemetery where there is no mowing, there’s no fertilizers, there’s no individual markers. But the burial can take place in this land that’s being restored, and then their name can be engraved on a large shared boulder monument. So that’s what the cemetery costs would look like in the Twin Cities. On the funeral home side, that really varies by provider. If you’re looking for things like immediate burial, that will help you compare apples to apples price-wise across Twin Cities funeral homes.
