Why Lay Departed Loved ones on Cardboard Caskets before They Finally Go

While everybody plans and wants to spend their last days on earth in very attractive, expensive and highly customized caskets, you on the other hand want to continue your green journey before you go. Yes, I understand you. Choosing a cardboard casket will give you more than enough reasons to use it over highly embellished and common wooden caskets. Here are some advantages of cardboard caskets that you should know:

1.It is very eco-friendly. Because this type of casket uses highly biodegradable material, the casket itself decomposes within 6 months to one year. The entire material used for this type of casket easily breaks down underground and that makes it a good choice to maintain an environment friendly funeral and burial.

2.You can have it customized and decorated. Yes, even though it is only made of card board, a cardboard casket can be customized. You can actually create a design and have it decorated to the casket itself. You can actually personalize a cardboard to make it look like how your departed loved one would like as a resting place.

3.A cardboard casket is very affordable. Many individuals choose to buy a cardboard casket for their departed loved ones because it is not only environment friendly, it is very affordable as well. Since the casket itself is made from recycled materials, they generally cost less than the common types of caskets which are made from steel or any hard wood material. 

4.A cardboard casket weighs very light. Some choose to get a cardboard casket for their deceased loved ones to use because it is very light to carry. 

5.Easy to find. Most funeral homes provide cardboard casket today. So, it really is not that hard to look for one.

These are the many advantages that every cardboard casket has. Although the use of cardboard for a casket may bring benefits, it also has its downsides.
