Be green in the afterlife with an Acorn recycled Urn
While no one wants to think about death, more and more people are starting to think that, when they die, they want to leave the planet in the same eco-friendly manner that they lived. The Acorn recycled urn helps you or a loved one minimise the environmental impact of a passing, so you can respect someone’s green beliefs even after death. Available in gold or green, the beautiful and simple Acorn urn is designed for use with a cotton ashes bag and is the perfect environmentally friendly receptacle for ashes. Produced to regulation size, the Acorn recycled urn is made from compressed newspaper, making it strong, and durable. The gold Acorn is hand finished with Dutch gold leaf applied over a red base, while the green Acorn urn is hand finished with moss green coloured paper made from recycled silk and mulberry leaves. The stalks of the lid on both the gold and green urns are made from a twist of recycled paper. The Acorns will last indefinitely if kept dry and are an eco-friendly and ethical way to store a loved one’s ashes. So while it is never pleasant to think about dying, it is reassuring to know that in death as in life you can help the planet – making it a better place for those left behind.
Be eco in the afterlife with an Ecopod Coffin
Ecopod coffins are recycled and biodegradable coffins that are completely non-toxic, enabling you to leave this planet with as little environmental impact as possible. Most coffins in use today are made of chipboard covered in laminate, but Ecopod coffins are made from naturally hardened, 100% recycled paper, making them biodegradable and suitable even for use in Greenfield sites. The revolutionary Ecopod coffin design is strong and light and available in two sizes and a range of colours including – of course! – green, (with a silver Celtic cross) as well as blue and, for those who would like a touch of bling even at the end, gold. Each Ecopod coffin comes with a calico mattress and carrying straps and can be delivered anywhere in the UK. While it may sound morbid thinking about death, choosing an Ecopod coffin – or informing loved ones that this would be your choice – allows you to make a conscious decision about how you want to exit the planet and enables you to minimise the environmental impact of that departure. We are becoming more and more aware of the cost to the environment of all of our choices throughout our lives, and even at the end of them. Ecopod coffins allow us to make that final decision one that respects the planet, so that even in death, we are helping protect the life left behind.
