Eco funerals responds to the growing awareness of our impact on the environment, including the way we leave this world. Some people want to personalise their funerals while considering how their choices affect the environment. We can explain the eco-friendly funeral options available to you, and help you to make well-informed choices.
Eco funerals recognises that our own funeral marks the end of our call on the earth’s resources and, just as in life, involves a number of choices that can impact, to a greater or lesser degree, on the environment. These choices include whether or not to embalm, the type of casket to use – including woollen caskets that are biodegradable and environmentally friendly – as well as burial or cremation options.

Eco Friendly Casket Options
One of the most meaningful choices in an eco funeral is the casket. We offer a range of environmentally considerate options, including:
Wool caskets
A wool casket (also known as a woollen coffin) is one of the most natural and biodegradable options available. Made from New Zealand wool, these caskets are fully compostable and return to the earth without leaving harmful materials behind. They have a soft, natural texture that many families find fitting for a gentle farewell, and are suitable for both burial and cremation.
Wicker and willow coffins
Wicker coffins are handwoven from natural materials such as willow, seagrass, or bamboo. Like wool caskets, they are fully biodegradable and have a minimal environmental footprint. They carry an earthy quality that resonates with families seeking a more organic farewell.
Biodegradable caskets
We also offer a range of biodegradable caskets made from sustainably sourced materials. These are designed to break down naturally over time, making them a considerate choice for natural burial.
