This bamboo cloth is 100% biodegradable. It is equiped with heavy duty handles for use in lowering the deceased. There is a sewn-in pouch which allows a rigid board to be inserted under the shroud to provide support for the body in lowering the deceased. | The Passages Willow Carrier is produced from sustainable, biodegradable willow and is designed for dignified viewing of a dressed or shrouded body. It features a rigid paulownia wood and bamboo-reinforced base, with flax rope and seagrass handles which can be used for carrying. The carrier contains no metal or plastic components. They can either be buried or cremated with the deceased, or the body can be removed from the carrier and it can be re-used again after the burial or cremation. | Silk with peacock feathers. A gorgeous artistic design. |
