…or both. If you can forgive us what might be a post in poor taste, we’d like to gather together here today to celebrate biodegradable, eco wool and organic cotton coffins by Hainsworth of the UK. With a frame made from recycled cardboard and a soft and sweetly-designed inner and outer shell from Yorkshire wool or organic cotton, these coffins and mini caskets for cremated remains allow truly eco people to continue to make that statement, even in the afterlife. Most coffins are made from old-growth forest wood and use environmentally unfriendly toxic lacquers and varnishes so that they can shimmer and shine. While you do have other brands out there, like Environmental Coffins, who build coffins out of woven willow and recycled cardboard (below), we prefer the delicate craftsmanship and singular look of Hainsworth.
