“I Didn't Know You Could Choose a Cardboard Casket - Until I Needed One”

Eco-friendly cardboard casket - simple, sustainable, and NZ made.
When someone close to us passes away, we want to honour them in a way that feels right. For many families in New Zealand, that now includes choosing an eco-friendly cardboard casket - a simple, respectful alternative to traditional options.
At Outside The Box Caskets, we offer 100% biodegradable cardboard caskets that are made right here in New Zealand. They're strong, personal, and better for the environment.
 
Why More People Are Choosing Cardboard
Our caskets are:
-  Fully biodegradable and free of harsh chemicals
-  Suitable for burial and cremation
-  Made from recycled, responsibly sourced materials
-  Personalised if you wish - write messages, add drawings, or keep it natural and plain


Choosing cardboard isn't just practical - it reflects a growing desire to do things differently. For many families, it feels more personal, more aligned with values of care, simplicity, and environmental responsibility.

Adding drawings and messages turns a cardboard casket into something deeply personal and meaningful
​Simple Doesn't Mean Less Meaningful
You don't need heavy materials or polished hardwoods to create a meaningful farewell. Cardboard caskets are often decorated by family and friends, filled with notes, photos, drawings or final words. Some prefer a clean, minimal look. Either way, it's a chance to reflect the life of the person being remembered.
Simplicity often brings focus - on the people, the memories, and the love shared.

Available Through Your Funeral Home
Our caskets are made right here in New Zealand using strong, recycled cardboard. While some funeral homes may not list them online or mention them by name, they are widely available. Just ask for an Outside The Box cardboard casket — most funeral directors know us and can organise one without any trouble.
