FAIR TRADE ORGANIZATION Company -

BAMBOO Coffins and BANANA Caskets are made from all natural (organic) plant material which naturally biodegrades. Since we add nothing during our manufacturing process,* a Basket Casket will biodegrade naturally along with the body it holds. (*natural plant dyes are used for pigmenting banana caskets.)

A more envionmentally friendly alternative to a traditional casket, Ecoffins are delivered complete with everything you need for a final send-off:

• A fitted casket/coffin liner;
• A bamboo headrest;
• A cotton shroud.

The shroud may be used for wrapping the body for burial, or may be personalized by family members prior to (or during) a ceremony and placed with the remains in the final resting place.

Banana caskets are manufactured in Indonesia where banana leaves are an abundant resource discarded by the agricultural industry. Banana sheaves come from the trunk of the plant and peel off (or shed) naturally each year. Both the leaves and sheaves are collected and woven into ropes.
