Eco-Friendly Caskets
Passages 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 and bamboo which don’t require heavy machinery for harvesting, giving them a small carbon footprint. Casket linings are made from unbleached natural cotton.
Woven/wicker caskets in willow, seagrass or bamboo are available in adult and infant sizes. Each casket is suitable for viewing and services, followed by burial or cremation. These caskets can be used as part of a traditional funeral or a greener funeral ritual.
While beautifully handcrafted, they are also sturdy, with each adult casket tested to carry up to 350 lbs. A rigid eco-friendly base provides added strength.
In addition to the woven caskets which come in various sizes, a handmade mulberry paper infant casket inlaid with flower petals and lined in fleece, is available.
