Green burial is no longer niche-it’s becoming an expectation. Families are asking about natural burial options with increasing frequency. Several states have begun regulating preparation requirements for natural burials. And funeral homes that cannot serve these families are missing a growing segment of the market.

The challenge has always been finding a preparation system that actually meets Green Burial Council (GBC) certification standards — not just a product marketed as "eco-friendly," but a fully certified, scientifically validated option that gives embalmers the tools they need to prepare a body in a way that qualifies as truly green.

Champion was the first to solve that problem. And Hilton Funeral Supply now carries the entire line.

Champion: The First — and Only — Complete GBC-Certified Embalming System

Champion was the first embalming chemical company approved by the Green Burial Council and remains the only manufacturer with a fully integrated, GBC-certified product system — arterial, cavity, topical, and compound — engineered specifically for green and natural burial preparation. The Champion Enigma™ fluid line is the only embalming product to receive the GBC’s highest 3 Leaf rating.

That distinction is critical. It means you aren't piecing together a preparation protocol from a single approved product while supplementing with conventional chemistry. With Champion ENIGMA, you have a complete, GBC-approved system for every phase of preparation.

What ENIGMA Is — And How It Works

ENIGMA Ecobalming is Champion's fourth-generation embalming line. Every product in the line is formulated from plant-based essential oils with no traditional aldehyde or phenolic chemistry. These aren't diluted versions of conventional fluids — they are a fundamentally different approach to preservation chemistry.

ENIGMA's near-anhydrous composition prevents water-logging and excess moisture retention, a common problem in green preparation cases. The plant-derived essential oils deliver active chemostasis — naturally replicating the preservative and sanitizing action of traditional embalming chemistry without the environmental impact or chemical burden of formaldehyde-based fluids.

The Complete ENIGMA Product Line

Hilton Funeral Supply carries the full ENIGMA system:

ENIGMA ARTERIAL — GBC-certified arterial fluid for eco-embalming.

ENIGMA CAVITY — GBC-certified cavity fluid for eco-embalming.

ENIGMA TOPICAL — GBC-certified topical solution for effective topical and surface contact chemostasis action.

ENIGMA COMPOUND — GBC-certified compound for exceptional contact and Topical Ecobalming action with strong absorption properties.

Together, these four products give embalmers a complete GBC-approved preparation toolkit for any green or natural burial case.
