Return To Sender stands for good design, environmental stewardship and keeping things real (authenticity).
The range of Return to Sender eco-coffins is expanding - styles and prices to suit anyone interested in making their final footprint a small one. The Artisan was the first design. It dramatically broke the mould of the heavy gothic shape that we are familiar with, recognising that we are living in a new millennium with changing attitudes towards death. It is becoming common to celebrate a life when it comes to an end and the Artisan helps facilitate this.
The second Return to Sender casket is more subtle in its design. The Essence retains links with tradition while stripping away all that is superfluous. It is a minimal design, not just in terms of clean looks, allowing a dignified end while consuming a minimal amount of materials.
The Archetype was the third design. It is made from untreated sustainably grown solid rimu with a natural oil finish. The shape is more traditional but includes features like built in handles to avoid plastic ones being attached.
The latest editions to the range are the Woodstock and RD1. The Woodstock is the quintessential 'Pine Box' - no frills, but authentic and priced to offer an alternative to MDF / plastic coffins. The RD1 is also pine, but is finely crafted with optional handles and mattress. This is an opportunity for those who prefer side-sets or want a choice of handles.
Ceramic urns with a New Zealand flavour are also available, filling the gap between a vessel and art.
