​Celebrating Green Burials with Robert J. Cotton Funeral Directors

We are honoured to share some meaningful moments from a recent green burial facilitated by Robert J. Cotton Funeral Directors, showcasing one of our eco-friendly Outside The Box cardboard caskets.

Green burials, also known as natural burials, are becoming increasingly popular in New Zealand. As more people seek environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional burials, green burials offer a beautiful and sustainable option. Natural burials minimise environmental impact by using biodegradable caskets, avoiding harmful embalming chemicals, and allowing the body to decompose naturally. This practice not only conserves natural resources but also promotes the health of local ecosystems. By embracing natural, biodegradable materials, green burials support the cycle of life and provide an eco-conscious way to lay loved ones to rest.​

Robert J. Cotton Funeral Directors are among the funeral homes that have shown exceptional support for families choosing green burials. We are grateful for their support of Outside The Box Caskets and their commitment to offering our biodegradable caskets as an option for families. By sharing these photos, we hope to inspire more families to consider this eco-friendly choice. For more information on green burial sites in your area, visit this link.
