"Busting Myths About Cardboard Caskets: Setting the Record Straight with Outside The Box"
​

When it comes to choosing a casket for a loved one's final resting place, misinformation and misconceptions can cloud the decision-making process. At Outside The Box, we specialize in designing and manufacturing eco-friendly cardboard caskets and we’re dedicated to dispelling the myths surrounding them.

In this blog post, we debunk common misconceptions and provide you with accurate information about the benefits and suitability of cardboard caskets. Let us separate fact from fiction and shed some light on why Outside The Box Caskets are the trusted choice for sustainable farewells.

Myth #1: Cardboard caskets are flimsy and not durable.
Reality: Our cardboard caskets at Outside The Box undergo rigorous testing to ensure durability and strength. We proudly offer caskets that have been weight tested up to 320kg, making them the strongest on the market.

Myth #2: Cardboard caskets are not suitable for traditional funeral services.
Reality: Cardboard caskets can be just as suitable for traditional funeral services as any other type of casket. Our cardboard caskets are designed to honour traditional funeral services with dignity and grace. Outside The Box offers a wide range of customisation options to ensure that the casket reflects the uniqueness of your loved one. From personalised artwork to special messages, we help you create a meaningful and personalised farewell.

Myth #3: Cardboard caskets are not environmentally friendly.
Reality: Outside The Box is at the forefront of eco-friendly caskets. Our cardboard caskets are made from recycled materials, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. They are free from glues, plastics, and metal parts, making them fully biodegradable and in line with sustainable practices. Choosing our caskets demonstrates your commitment to preserving the Earth for future generations.

Myth #4: Cardboard caskets are only suitable for cremation.
Reality: While cardboard caskets are indeed suitable for cremation, they are equally appropriate for burial. Our cardboard caskets are designed to facilitate natural decomposition, aligning with the principles of green burials. They provide a respectful and environmentally conscious choice for those who wish to honour their loved ones through traditional burial practices.

When it comes to cardboard caskets, it's essential to separate fact from fiction. Outside The Box is dedicated to providing accurate information and dispelling misconceptions surrounding cardboard caskets. Our commitment to durability is evident in our caskets, which undergo rigorous weight testing, making them the strongest on the market.
