New Eco-Friendly Coffin for Cremation

Soul Ash Solace has an innovative design for a funereal vessel- it is made of light-weight materials that are completely biodegradable, (and much less harmful for our planet than showy, lacquered coffins and the like) such as papier-mache and corrugated cardboard. While most would say that coffins are too expensive to buy and then burn during cremation, the economical construction of the Soul Ash Solace proves budget-friendly, lending itself to a joining of the two processes with ease and affordability. It is also a coffin designed specifically for immolation, meaning that it will burn well–and quickly, though it won’t release any noxious fumes into the atmosphere.

The Soul Ash Solace: a coffin that joins together the cremation and burial process.

…the Soul Ash Solace also leaves a noteworthy, post-cremation relic: a metallic, hour-glass shaped object that rests on top of the coffin.

Its classic form was developed by Maximal Design of Belgium, and they ship throughout the world, including the USA. And in addition to its aesthetic appeal and ecological value, the Soul Ash Solace also leaves a noteworthy, post-cremation relic: a metallic, hour-glass shaped object that rests on top of the coffin. After being burned, this remaining piece survives as a keepsake for loved ones to take away. Each metal piece gets brandished by the fire in a unique way, creating a spectrum of color and form on its patina. The concept that the Belgian company was inspired by in using an hour-glass shape for this last vestige is the enduring adage that “Time Heals All Wounds.”
