Small steps make a big impact.
Every action matters — from daily choices to larger efforts. When each of us does our part, we move together toward greater efficiency and sustainability.
During the month of April this year, we’re celebrating Earth Month by reflecting on how sustainability is built into the very foundation of ADDvantage Casket Company—literally. Our commitment to thoughtful preservation and responsible innovation helps us serve your funeral home with care, quality, and conscience.
At one of our distribution centers, we work out of a beautiful 100-year-old building made of heavy timber and thick brick walls—strong, sustainable, and efficient. Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, we chose to preserve. This choice saves resources, lowers energy costs, and supports our mission to reduce our environmental impact.
Honoring Loved Ones with a Living Legacy
Many funeral homes are choosing to plant trees in memory of those who have passed—creating a living legacy that nurtures the earth and brings comfort to families through beauty, renewal, and purpose.
Responsibly Sourced, Sustainably Made
Engineered wood allows us to maximize the use of every tree harvested. Much of our material comes from responsibly managed forests in the southern U.S., where strong replanting efforts ensure that these vital resources remain healthy and renewable for future generations.
Inside Our Operations: Sustainability at Every Step
From our distribution center to your doorstep, we’re committed to operating with care for the environment:
-
Solar energy powers much of our daily work
-
LED lighting and energy-saving systems help reduce our footprint
-
Recycled materials—from cardboard to hangers to office paper—get recycled or reused wherever possible
-
Strategically located shipping hubs help cut down on emissions and keep delivery costs low
Why It Matters: Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a way to honor the communities we serve. By reducing waste, reusing materials, and preserving resources, we can offer consistent pricing, dependable service, and a greener path forward.
The ADDvantage isn’t just in our name—it’s in the way we do business. Thank you for joining us in honoring tradition while building a more sustainable future.
