WHAT BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL CAN I BE BURIED IN?
As a truly natural burial ground, Primrose Wood welcomes burials using biodegradable, non-toxic coffins, shrouds and ashes caskets or urns. You are completely free to choose and source these yourself, rather than through a funeral director. In addition to the suppliers below, some of the funeral directors in our list are also happy to help families arranging a funeral independently, offering coffins or shrouds without requiring you to purchase their full range of services..
The suppliers below are just a small selection of companies who sell direct to the public, offering some truly beautiful and thoughtfully crafted options.
