KORU Cremation | Burial | Ceremony provides direct and tailored cremation, burial and ceremony services so that you can mourn and celebrate your dead, your way.

To meet these standards KORU offers and provides:   

  • Eco-Friendly caskets and shrouds to enclose and transport the dead for burial and cremation ceremonies
  • Essential, Natural Body Care of the Deceased with non-toxic, non-invasive practices (sanitation and temporary preservation using only non-toxic, biodegradable topical products – essential oils – and refrigeration)
