How To Choose Cardboard Coffins

How to choose cardboard coffins. If you feel that you'd like to use a cardboard coffin, the first thing you've got to decide is the weight of the person who has died. Cardboard coffins can only be used for people under about 14 stone.

If it's over 14 stone, unfortunately, you're going to be struggling. Once we've decided that you can use a cardboard coffin, we'll go to deciding what type of cardboard coffin. We can have a plain coffin, it's just brown in colour, or you can have a cardboard coffin that is made from any colour you want and printed.

Cardboard coffins are great if you want to decorate it yourself, be it with pictures, photographs or you might want your family and friends to come and write messages on them. Where do we get the cardboard coffins from? Your funeral director will definitely have supplies of cardboard coffins but you may be intending to carry out the funeral completely by yourself, there are 4 or 5 companies by the internet that will sell you cardboard coffins directly. These coffins will range from 150 pounds up to about 300 pounds.

You will have to pay delivery or you can collect them yourself. The delivery is normally about 50 pounds. If you're going to use a cardboard coffin for burial, you need to make sure that the cemetery will allow the cardboard coffin for burial.

Again, for cremation, you will need to tell the crematoria that you are using a cardboard coffin. Cardboard coffins are usually only used for cremation for obvious reasons. When lowering a cardboard coffin, it's a lot harder to lower into a grave than a wooden coffin.

If you're having an eco funeral and its cremation, the energy used during the cremation process on a cardboard coffin is a lot less than that of a wooden coffin. Generally, a cardboard coffin will have a waterproof lining inside. This is wrapped around the person who has died.

This is just to protect them during the process of the funeral. On top of the coffin, you can also have flowers just as you would for the normal wooden coffin. So, that's how we would choose a cardboard coffin. .
