Hebenstreit & Kentrup
Why and how we are committed to biodiversity
The Bestattungshaus Hebenstreit & Kentrup is a family-run funeral home operating in North Rhine-Westfalia. With the project „Die Grüne Linie“ (“The green line”) they offer an environmentally compatible funeral service including biodiversity and environmental sustainability in all operational steps: stones are locally sourced, wood derives from sustainable forestry, garments are 100% degradable, flower and plant decorations are seasonal, graveyards are considered in their whole as biotopes to preserve.
