COFFINS · ECO
Eco coffins are biodegradable, made from untreated wood, woven wicker or dense cardboard, with no metal fittings or synthetic varnishes. They break down naturally in the ground and are suitable for natural burials and cremation.
An eco coffin is made from materials that decompose naturally: untreated wood, woven wicker or pressed dense cardboard. It uses no synthetic varnish, paint or metal fittings.
The aim is to reduce the environmental impact on the soil at burial. Untreated pine is the most readily available option, being lightweight and free of chemical treatments.
An eco coffin suits families who want a simple, natural burial with a low environmental footprint. It is also a good choice for cremation, as it burns cleanly.
The availability of specialist models (wicker, cardboard) is limited in Romania. We will tell you clearly what is in stock and how long a special order takes.
Untreated wood keeps its natural appearance without varnish. Woven wicker has a warm, artisan look. Dense cardboard is the lightest and most affordable biodegradable model.
Where lining is included, it is made from natural, unbleached textile. For biodegradable urns for cremation, see the funeral urns page.
