Our banana caskets offer a fully biodegradable, eco-friendly alternative to conventional coffins. Handcrafted from the fibres of sustainably grown banana plants, these caskets are strong, lightweight, and naturally elegant. They provide families with a meaningful way to honour a loved one while minimising environmental impact.
The banana plant is a rapidly renewable resource, and its leaves and fibres have traditionally been used for weaving in tropical regions for centuries. By using these fibres, banana caskets combine sustainable materials with skilled craftsmanship to create a dignified, natural final resting place.
Each Ecoffins banana casket is individually handwoven by experienced artisans using fibres extracted from the trunk and leaves of the banana plant. The fibres are dried naturally and woven using traditional techniques, producing a sturdy yet breathable structure that is gentle on the environment.
No MDF, chipboard, plastics, veneers, or metal fixings are used. All caskets are free from chemical coatings, varnishes, and toxic adhesives, ensuring they are; fully biodegradable, plastic-free and metal-free, environmentally safe for burial, suitable for cremation and ideal for green burial grounds.
The natural weave gives each casket a unique pattern and subtle variations in colour, enhancing its handcrafted, one-of-a-kind appearance.
