There is nothing like a feeling of contentment while bidding adieu in an eco-friendly way. A Colorado company has come up with its new range of caskets made from all organic plant material to serve your purpose. The eco-friendly coffins biodegrade naturally. These better known as Ecoffins and are a great way of promoting ecologically friendly funeral.
Ecoffin is prepared by using bamboo and banana sheaves that come from the trunk of the plant and peel off naturally without harming the plants. Since nothing else is added during its manufacturing process, Ecoffin biodegrades naturally within a period of six months to two years along with the body it holds. Company’s marketing director, Joanna Passarelli said that Ecoffins are better for the environment than cremating bodies.
These are more eco-friendly alternative to traditional caskets. Ecoffins are delivered complete with everything you need for a final send-off. Selling caskets worth $40,000 in the preceding year, Ecoffins got good response from New Mexico. The Muslim and Jewish communities have shown a lot of enthusiasm for the product. These eco-friendly caskets are available for $800 only.
