Outside The Box Caskets

A casket that tells their story. Personal, design-led caskets made in NZ using sustainable materials. Available through funeral directors. No plastic. No metal.

Not everyone wants a traditional send-off. Outside The Box Caskets are for people who want something different — simple, sustainable and personal. Made in New Zealand from 100 percent biodegradable, recycled cardboard. No MDF. Just clean design, honest materials, and a lighter footprint on the planet. They are blank canvases that can be personalised to reflect the life they honour. Certified for green burials and cremation, and permitted for use with pallbearers, Outside The Box Caskets are available at funeral homes across the country.

Not the usual thing to hear about a casket. We’ll take it.

Mary from sent us these from a natural burial at Mākara in Wellington, with our Kererū Forest casket last week.

She told us something we hadn’t thought of.

“The jute handles make it possible to have more than one pallbearer per handle. We had some of the younger grandkids doubling up and that worked well.”

Little ones usually can’t help carry a casket and a traditional casket is too heavy. Ours are about 20kg lighter and with the jute handles two grandkids can share one.
