Cardboard caskets can be used at funeral services.
Most caskets are made of wood and have metal fixtures. Cardboard caskets have no metal fixtures and emit only a small amount of harmful substances during cremation. We offer these caskets as an option for reducing the impact on the environment.
We are shifting many types of materials and packaging materials to products that can be recycled.
Bags used for items taken home by guests at funerals and other services are being replaced with products made of materials that can be recycled.
We are replacing hearses with hybrid vehicles and plan to install equipment to generate energy. We also plan to make hybrid vehicles a larger share of our fleet of other vehicles for business use.
