Environmentally Friendly Biodegradable Coffins from Sustainable resources

There are many options when it comes to choosing a coffin. The least expensive choice for an eco-friendly coffin to be used in a green funeral is the Cardboard Coffin. 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.

Another option is a Bamboo Coffin. 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. Panda's do not eat this species of bamboo.

Willow Coffins are an attractive alternative to a wooden coffin. We have around fourteen different styles; some are made in Somerset England from locally grown willow, others are crafted in Poland. They come in a variety of natural golden colours, or a light buff colour; some can have a band of brighter colour. Some are traditional coffin shaped, others have softer rounded ends.

Seagrass Coffins are an attractive light colour and can have additional rings for flowers. They are produced in China and come from a factory with ethical employment policies.

Plain Pine Coffins are solid wood coffins from sustainable sources. They are unvarnished and even the pegs to hold the lid in place are biodegradable.

Traditional Solid Wood Coffins are made from environmentally sustainable paulownia wood from responsibly managed forests. They come in mahogany, light and mid oak effects.

Pandanus Coffins. Pandanus or Wild Pineapple has a similar look to seagrass. The coffin has an interesting two tone effect.

Pineapple Leaf Coffins and Hyacinth Leaf Coffins. These coffins are woven from leaves of plants that otherwise would be destroyed.

Jute Coffins from Scotland will be available later in the year.

Ecopod Coffins These are made available in a variety of colours or plain white for personal decoration

All our eco-coffins are suitable for burial or cremation.
