Question

Does anyone know of where to get a reasonably priced cardboard coffin west sussex/hampshire areas england?

Answer 1

There is a natural burial site out Wickham way (Hampshire), near where HMS Mercury used to be. Where they only allow either cardboard or straw coffins. My Mother and Father in law are buried there. Its a really nice site, at the entrance is a Environmental center/sustainability center, try looking in Yellow pages for this place under Natural burial, cemetries, or even the sustainability center. Another way of tracking them down is look under undertakers in the Gosport area as they advertise the natural burial site, then get the address and phone number and phone them up.

Hope this helps as I can't remember the address and I work away so haven't got it with me.

Answer 3

You have been watching too much Eastenders.  Who do you want too.......never mind.

Have you considered just wrapping the body in a shroud and burying that?
