Pray Funeral Home offers a growing variety of caskets for Green Burial

Pray Funeral Home offers several Green Burial caskets made of unfinished poplar or natural woven materials. 

Our Natura casket is unfinished poplar.  It features a natural linen interior.  The casket is constructed with biodegradable natural glue joinery and wooden latch and hinges.

The Passages Collection of eco-friendly woven caskets  are hand crafted by skilled weavers. They are suitable for green burial and clean cremation. Each casket features convenient handles for carrying, along with a natural cotton interior lining, pillow and shroud.

Woven Bamboo

Your purchase of a Passages Collection casket has enormous benefits to rural populations. This cottage industry provides badly needed seasonal income for families in rural communities. Both the willow and seagrass plants are fast growing, easy to harvest and require no fertilizers. The willow plants replenish fertility in depleted soils in addition to providing habitats for birds and insects. They also act as windbreaks, stabilize soil and combat both river and coastal erosion.

Woven Seagrass

Since the caskets are handmade, they may vary slightly in color and appearance. Each casket has a flat underside to provide added strength and simplify transfer into the cremation retort.

 Woven Willow

Each casket is weight tested to 300 lbs.
