Daisybox cardboard caskets are engineered from premium-quality, virgin fibre grade corrugated fibreboard, constructed to three-layers thick on the sides and two layers thick on the base. The design has been independently tested in a NATA Accredited lab to carry minimum 240kg /528Lb of weight. In tends of thousands of caskets sales, we've never had a structural failure of Daisybox caskets. There is no join in the sides or base of the casket that can come part under load. This is the secret to the Daisybox patented design.
Daisybox caskets are bulk-transported to funeral arrangers in Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa and the USA. Our systems are not geared up to sell individual caskets direct to the public and we therefore ask that you find an appropriate stockist to work with, via our pre-planning request form.
Absolutely, yes. Being made from corrugated fibreboard, a Daisybox will biodegrade in an environmentally-responsible way, unlike resin-filled MDF and chipboard, which leach formaldehyde into the soil. Eco-conscious funeral arrangers will also include a natural calico Daisybox liner and pillow, to ensure no synthetic fabrics are buried.
A direct cremation, also known as a "no-service, no attendance funeral", occurs where a person's body is cremated soon after their death and there is no prior funeral service with family or friends present. Direct cremations are the lowest cost funeral option. Families and friends often arrange a memorial service following the direct cremation, to pay tribute to their person.
A memorial service can take place from one week and up to a year after a burial or cremation. It may be held at a home, in a park or in a church or chapel.
