Cardboard coffins are way to go
Parkinson Lane, Halifax.
I wonder how much of the world's precious timber is cut down (quite often from unsustainable logging in the rain forests) to make wood to make coffins with?
Coffins that are either burned straightaway in the incinerator furnace, or else dumped in the ground to impede Nature doing her job of rendering down the corpses into good compost.
If it was down to me, no wood would be used in the making of corpse-carriers, reinforced cardboard coffins made from recycled cardboard should be the order of the day.
Human beings believing they are "the lords of creation" (delusions of grandeur if ever there were any) have already brought the planet to the brink of destruction.
