Biodegradable Coffins 2
Interest in “green†burials has been increasing in recent years, and the Ecopod is one of the first coffin to fit the environmentally conscious consumer niche. Originally developed in England, it is sold in the United States by the Portland-based Natural Burial Company. Visitors to the company’s showroom will soon be able to see a variety of other biodegradable coffin made of paper, formaldehyde-free plywood, fair-trade-certified bamboo and hand-woven Somerset willow.
