[Pil-pc-oceania] Fwd: Fern Rainbow - enquiry on eco coffins

[Kerry Dawborn]

Hi Fern,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

Regarding eco coffins, I have done a quick google on eco coffins, and 
found the following organisations:

http://www.onearth.com.au/

They seem to be based South Australia but apparently you can ask your 
funeral director to order a casket from them.

These people are in NSW:

http://www.lifeart.com.au/lifeart_coffins.asp

and

http://www.earthbeds.com.au/

I hope this is helpful, and want to thank you for making this sensitive 
enquiry public on the list, as it has alerted me to the availability of 
eco coffins in Australia, and this is important to me.

Best wishes to you and your family,

Kerry Dawborn
