Adapted extracts from a letter to the Natural Death Centre, from a reader in Milton Keynes.
Where can I buy environmentally friendly coffins at a sensible price? I asked my local Co-operative funeral parlour and they quoted me £296 for a cardboard coffin claiming that the price was due to these coffins now being "fashionable"!
Ed: The cheapest cardboard coffins can be obtained for £39.95 incl. VAT (delivery £12-93 extra) from Compakta Ltd in Leicestershire (tel 01455 828642).
