If you fancy something very different, there are a few contemporary, and environmentally friendly options out there, which mix style, design and traditional techniques. By being innovative in their design, the cardboard coffins are made from recycled paper and are exceptionally sturdy. They are 100% bio-degradable, and so ideally suited for natural burial sites, but can obviously be used for burial in traditional grounds and cremation as well. The pictorial design coffins can also be made from wood to suit your families wishes.
