Eco-Friendly, Green & Biodegradable Caskets

Eco-Friendly Caskets are designed to not harm the environment. They are made of materials that will naturally break down over time when buried. Some may be molded structures made from natural materials such as bamboo powder, rice husk and corn starch. Other are made from handmade papers. Other are crafted in wicker by skilled weavers as a small cottage industry (not in factories)...

...They are created from sustainable materials such as fast-growing willow, seagrass and bamboo which dont require heavy machinery for harvesting, giving them a small carbon footprint. Casket linings are made from unbleached natural cotton.



Woven/wicker caskets in willow, seagrass or bamboo are available in adult and infant sizes. Each casket is suitable for viewing and services, followed by burial or cremation. These caskets can be used as part of a traditional funeral or a greener funeral ritual. While beautifully handcrafted, they are also sturdy. A rigid eco-friendly base provides added strength.



What is wicker? Wicker is an acient process of weaving from any one of a variety of pliable plant materials. Some of the earliest examples are from the Egyptian pyramids.
