Environmental Cremation

Conventional coffins are made of chipboard with plastic handles and nameplate, all of which create pollution. If you prefer to use a biodegradable coffin, and allow us to complete the cremation either the same day, or the following morning, a reduced cremation fee applies. This is because it allows us to programme more cremations through a single cremator, avoiding the harmful emissions which arise from bringing a second cremator into use. Our re-usable "Carlisle Coffin" enables you to use this option, which cares for the environment and reduces costs.
