Eco Coffins Ltd® The
Responsible Choice
We belong to the National Society of Allied & Independent Funeral Directors.
Thank you for visiting Eco Coffins Ltd®.
Our coffins
If you are organising a funeral for a member of
your family, or a much-loved friend,
you will want their farewell to be personal to them; a celebration of their
life. You also want it to be dignified, but not at an extraordinary cost to
you or the environment.
Our cardboard coffins offer an environmentally
friendly alternative to the majority of coffins used in the UK. Over 80% of
coffins currently used are made from chipboard; the production of chipboard requires significant volumes of
formaldehyde, a carcinogenic pollutant, and chipboard coffins release toxins
when cremated or buried.
Eco Coffins are made from recycled cardboard in the UK, so
unlike many coffins which are imported, we are not stamping a large carbon
footprint. they cremate with 90% lower carbon emissions than a standard
chipboard coffin, and for burial they are 100% biodegradable. In addition,
due to the multi-layered construction technique of the coffins they are
extremely strong (easily carrying up to 20 stone).
Eco Coffins are available in plain, traditional or
colourful finishes.
