The only truly green alternative to a traditional casket
Built entirely from natural, renewable materials, with every ferrous metal and petrochemical component engineered out.
Conservation, built into every joint
The Enviro-Casket™ was developed to remove ferrous metals and petrochemical products from casket construction, without compromising the strength, function, or dignity that families expect.
Every fastening, finish, and interior material has a natural, renewable equivalent, so the entire casket can return to the earth.
All-wood engineering, zero compromise
Each piece of traditional metal hardware is replaced with a natural solution that retains full function.
A pivoting wood peg-and-bore method achieves 100% functional retention.
Traditional wood dowel methods provide 100% structural strength.
A coved peg-and-dowel mechanism keeps 100% of the function.
All-wood brackets, made specifically to replace every metal one.
Specially formulated natural adhesives provide the alternative.
Northern's patent-pending, non-lift 100% wood swing-bar handle completes the design, giving a familiar, fully functional handle with no metal at all.
Natural, inside and out
Finish. A three-stage natural oil finish with natural pigments replaces the lacquers, varnishes, and urethanes used on conventional caskets.
Interior. Cotton and cellulose fabrics replace rayon, nylon, acetates, plastics, and polymers, over a natural wood excelsior and cotton bedding.
