This includes proposals for enhanced online services such as digital memorials and the development of accessible memorial gardens and spaces for reflection.
To improve climate resilience, flood management systems and biodiversity enhancements, including wildflower planting, would be included in cemetery designs, the council said.
A new funding model would also be implemented which would see surplus income reinvested in service improvements and grants.
The council also hopes to engage with faith and cultural groups to ensure services reflect Sheffield’s diversity.
Crossthorn said the new strategy had been shaped by 3,000 responses from a citywide consultation and was about “putting people first”.
“By investing in eco-friendly options, digital innovation, and inclusive community spaces, we’re not only responding to the needs of today, but also safeguarding the wellbeing of future generations,” he said.
With the content of the strategy now approved, the council said it would begin work to refine its presentation and develop a detailed implementation plan.
