Summary
A new fad of paper, biodegradable coffins and caskets are more eco-friendly than the regular wooden coffins that we bury underground in cemeteries. Although they are more friendly to the environment, and rot over time they still burn a lot of fossil fuels in the making, due to cremation. The price range of these coffins ranges from one hundred dollars for a simple cardboard box to three thousand dollars for a handcrafted burial. These coffins although mainly used in United Kingdom, are becoming more popular in New York, California, South Carolina, Texas, and Florida. The average revenue of these coffins is eleven million dollars. Bob Fells says that although he doesn't know if these coffins are here to stay, he is ready to give what is needed of these biodegradable, eco-friendly coffins.
