Why People Are Choosing Sustainable Greener Coffins Over Traditional Wooden Ones

In recent years, as the world becomes more environmentally conscious, many people are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint—not just in life but also in death. One of the growing trends in eco-conscious end-of-life planning is the use of sustainable greener coffins. Among your options is Lifelia, we offer a range of greener coffins that look and feel like traditional wooden ones but have significantly less impact on the environment.

The Carbon Footprint of Traditional Coffins

Traditional wooden coffins, often made from hardwood like oak or mahogany, have long been the standard for burials. However, these materials are typically sourced from slow-growing trees, meaning deforestation, high energy consumption and significant carbon emissions are involved in their production. Additionally, traditional coffins are often treated with toxic varnishes and chemicals, which can leach into the soil over time.

As society becomes more aware of these environmental impacts, many people are seeking alternatives that allow them to honour their loved ones without harming the planet.
