Sustainable Materials

Unlike hardwood trees which take decades to mature, rattan can be harvested in just a few years. This makes it a highly renewable resource.

Strong & Durable

Despite being lightweight, rattan is strong and durable. It can support significant weight. This flexibility allows for beautiful caskets which are both sturdy and elegant.

Natural Burial Ready

Rattan is a natural material which decomposes quickly, making it perfect for natural burial practices. This ensures the casket returns to the earth without harming the environment.

Non-Toxic

Rattan is non-toxic and does not release harmful chemicals. This ensures the decomposition process is safe for the environment, protecting the soil and groundwater from contamination.

Sustainable Lining

The linings are made from Kapok, a biodegradable fiber which naturally repels moisture. This plant based material provides sustainable cushioning.
