Putting the 'fun' into funerals with Ecopod
You recycle your newspapers, bottles, gadgets, possibly your clothes too. The next logical step: recycle yourself!
Such is the advice of Hazel Selina, founder of Ecopod, an entirely new and green approach to the art of undertaking. Hazel claims that traditional funerals aren't only a morbid business, they're also bad for the environment...
Her Ecopod coffins are based on natural seed shapes and look more like funky surf-boards than anything dracula would be seen, well, dead in. Every Ecopod comes in bright, jewel-like shades and — unlike a traditional "box" — is completely biodegradable. There is also an acorn-shaped urn available, though it comes with a disclaimer urging those considering cremation to reconsider, as it 'inevitably causes pollution'...
If you're ready to start planning your funeral (or just morbidly curious) take a look at the story behind Ecopod on their website.
