The least expensive choice for an eco-friendly coffin to be used in a green funeral is the <a href="/cardboard-coffins.asp" title="About cardboard coffins, cheapest alternative for a green funeral">Cardboard Coffin</a>. They are easily paintable (we are more than happy to do this for you or, if you prefer you can do it yourself). It is also possible to provide a drape to cover the coffin if you feel that the coffin looks too unorthodox. We also have colourful cardboard coffins with an ivy, poppy or autumn leaf print.</P> <P><img class="imageinset" height="150" src="/natural_coffin.jpg" />Another option is a <B><A HREF="/bamboo-coffins.asp">Bamboo Coffin</A></B>. These are beautifully made and a more decorative choice for a green funeral. The production encourages the use of traditional skills ensuring that the manufacturing processes are kept as green as possible and allowing the craftsmen to maintain their time honoured livelyhoods. They have just been given the Fair Trade Organization Mark. The coffins are 100% natural and biodegradeable and the bamboo is grown in sustainable plantations licensed by the Chinese Government. Pandas do not eat this species of bamboo.</P> <p><img class="imageinset" width="230" src="/images/whicker_willow_coffin2.jpg"><b><a href="/Willow-coffins.asp" title="Willow coffins, natural, biodegradeable, from locally grown willow">Willow Coffins</a></b> are an attractive alternative to a wooden coffin.
