The eco-friendly way to say farewell, our Biodegradable Bamboo 6-Point Coffin is individually crafted by hand using sustainably produced bamboo. Available to the public and ships free within the continental USA, this is an elegant, affordable, and earth-friendly final resting place to return your loved one to earth.

The words "coffin" and "casket" are pretty much interchangeable, "coffin" being the older term and "casket" the more common contemporary one. We call this a "coffin" because of the classic 6-point shape generally associated with the old-school tapered shape that widens for the shoulders and narrows for the feet. There is no functional difference, it's simply a matter of look and style.

You can use our biodegradable bamboo coffins/caskets for the funeral or memorial service followed by a natural ground burial or cremation. A full-length lid is included with each bamboo coffin, and you may also choose to add a 3/4 length top to allow viewing of the body during the service or a private family visitation. There are no metal components in the casket or burial shroud (add on item), so everything is suitable for cremation or natural ground burial.

The Six-Point Bamboo Coffin boasts strong corners that embrace the elegance of the original coffin shape. The interior is lined with natural unbleached cotton, matching pillow and privacy shield. Sturdy handles and a rigid biodegradable base provides strength for ease of transportation.

Sustainability

  • Our eco-friendly caskets are crafted by skilled weavers as a small cottage industry, not in factories. They are created from sustainable materials such as fast-growing willow, seagrass or bamboo which don’t require heavy machinery for harvesting, giving these funeral products a small carbon footprint. Burial of these eco-friendly coffins also help reduce your own carbon footprint, as most caskets you find at the funeral home feature metal components and/or heavy chemical finishes. This Bamboo Casket is certified Fair Trade by Traidcraft, and must meet stringent standards which include: 
    • Create opportunities for the economically disadvantaged.
    • Pay our permanent, full-time workers in excess of 30% above local recommended wages to ensure a good living wage.
    • Do not use child or forced labor.
    • Ensure approximately 50% of the labor force is women.
