Knotty Rimu timber is used to produce these beautiful featured caskets. This grade is not used by the flooring or furniture industry and is therefore a by-product which would be otherwise discarded.
We have added to this the beauty of the paua. The standards for harvesting are set and strictly managed by the New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industries. Paua fishery is one of the only sustainably managed abalone fisheries in the world. The Paua (New Zealand Abalone) is from its natural ocean environment – it is wild, not farmed.
The paua used in these caskets is collected by divers who have a quota licence from the New Zealand Government. The paua is gently lifted off the rock using a hand-held knife by qualified free divers.
The paua is manufactured into a decorative veneer. The shell laminate is specially bonded thin slices of shell and coated with a urethane finish.
We know you will enjoy the richness and beauty of our new Dorset Paua range with the additional peace of mind you are not adversely impacting on our beautiful New Zealand environment.
By purchasing a casket from the Dorset range, we will donate a native tree to be planted in a reserve as a living memorial.
