Coffins Go Green

July 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Just in case you want to biodegrade a little faster after your burial, avoid embalming and consider placement in a coffin made of banana sheaves, or recycled newspaper or cardboard.  Durability about 6 months to 2 years.  A real breather!

Ecocoffins of Colorado has been offering its special final containers for some time now.  They have been available in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.  Select funeral homes carry them.  Marketing them however is a novel task. 

“We either get an, Oh, my,’ or, That’s very interesting,’ ” Passarelli said. “Some people think it’s a great idea. We’ve had funeral directors look at them and say, I guess you can go to hell in a handbasket now.’ “

…the main selling point of an Eco Coffin is the way that it looks. The beautiful designs are a true celebration of a life lived.
