Seems like they are allowing only ‘green’ coffins – charging $1,000 more for them? If you make too many rules – families will stay away.
BTW. My Aunt recently died in Adelaide – S Australia. The lest expensive funeral quote they obtained was over $10,000, despite my asking for the most basic cremation service.
I smell A rat! A financial blackballing by the traditional funeral directors/cemeteries.
So, how about shrouds? Legal for a burial here in UK……..A few $ for 12m fabric and a board underneath.
I know 1000 NZ dollar is about £500 – not far off what a woven coffin costs here. But $1,800? When they come from Indonesia? Ha Ha!
There’s a business here for a properly priced biodegradeable coffin. Carl??
Hey you should try the local synagogue, we have used their simple pine caskets with rope handles in our green burial grounds and they are economical for the family to buy too, I’m sure some funeral homes import plain cardboard coffin too.
It’s probably not about what’s available, or what’s allowed at the burial ground, or about the real £cost of coffins, so much as about the insidious undermining of an unfavoured business venture by the local funeral directors who, remember, are the ones supplying and pricing all the coffins anyway, wherever they end up.
