Aldergrove Caskets builds environmentally friendly caskets. It is said that we come from the earth and we return to the earth. Here at Aldergrove Farm we build a vessel for the return journey, mindful of the spiritual and environmental needs of the deceased, their friends and family, and the world that they are leaving behind.
We build with local, sustainable woods such as southern yellow pine and spruce. Finishes and adhesives are environmentally friendly during production, in our shop and for cremation or burial. We build our caskets and urns without metal fasteners of any kind for a complete and timely return to the earth.
Our products are designed to move the funeral and burial process to a greener and more human-centered place. We can only achieve this through continuous attention to the environmental impact of our products and practices and by attentively listening to our client’s ideas for meaningful ceremony. As the company grows, we will continue to design to the highest green standards as defined by non-profit, third-party certifying organizations. As the definitions of ‘green burial’ and ‘green business’ change, we will evolve to embrace the current best practices.
