​The Difference Between an Outside The Box Casket and Other Cardboard Caskets
With more and more people turning towards eco-friendly funerals, there has been a rise in sustainable caskets. Eco-friendly caskets are an excellent way to lower the carbon footprint of a funeral without sacrificing the tradition and honour of burying a loved one. One New Zealand-based company, Outside The Box Caskets, stands as an example of just how stunning sustainable caskets can be.
 
Eco-friendly caskets are made from recycled materials, primarily cardboard. Some people may hear this and be worried that the casket will no longer be stable or unique; while this is a natural worry, it is not a problem with a proper eco-friendly casket. Here is what makes Outside the Box Caskets so different from the rest!
 
The Design is Award-Winning - Literally!
You might be wondering how a cardboard casket could be shaking up the traditional funeral scene. The designs of Outside the Box Caskets have won many awards, from winning two Australian Gold Good Design Awards to taking gold at the 2020 Australian Packaging Innovation & Design of the Year Award. Simply put, these caskets are award-winning.
 
The design includes clever and innovative folding mechanisms that increase the weight capacity of the casket. Each casket can hold up to 320kg, making it as stable as anything else in the business. No plastic, glue, or metal parts are used in the design. This makes them incredibly eco-friendly without taking away their stability and security.
 
Handles are handmade and attached to the casket, and the lid is secured with jute string. The design keeps in mind the little intricacies of the funeral process and allows you to honor your loved ones with as little stress as possible. Every detail is planned out, so all you have to do is purchase the perfect personalised casket for your loved one.
 
Outside The Box Caskets Are Sustainable and Personable
The caskets are designed by founder Becs Bartells, an experienced product designer and innovator. Becs specialises in crafting products that bring the personal to the traditional, and that has without a doubt been accomplished by Outside the Box Caskets.
 
Cardboard caskets have a reputation of being cheap or impersonal, but this is not the case! It may be cardboard, but the caskets are not cheaply made and can in fact be personalised much more than traditional caskets. Unlike other cardboard coffins, Outside The Box Caskets are certified for eco-friendly funerals. It is not about the materials used, but about the ability to leave a legacy rather than a large carbon footprint.
 
We understand that sustainable and eco-friendly caskets may not be for everyone. But if you are looking for something that is made with love, brings a unique and modern feel to a traditional funeral service, and helps the environment along the way, Outside the Box Caskets will be right for you!
 
Be unique and eco-friendly at the same time! Caskets are a final resting place built with love and care, and Outside The Box Caskets ensures that they will honour the deceased with style and security.
