With the world moving toward a sustainable future, the tread of green burials and cremation is catching on fast. Why not leave an eco-friendly legacy by letting the departed souls lie in green peace? To give the eco-conscious the green option of their choice, here is a list of 10 eco-friendly coffins and caskets to minimize the afterlife impact of your loved ones.

2. Eco coffins by Creative Coffins

These lightweight coffins with a wide variety of patterns and themes feature handles made from cotton and the glue used to hold it all together is starch based.
3. Genesis Biopod by Jack Hokanson
Undoubtedly one of the most original concepts for cremation, the Genesis Biopod by Jack Hokanson is designed to be submerged into the ocean with the remains of your loved ones.

The caskets keep the ashes within a strong cardboard container.
7. Bamboo Eco Coffin
