Discover the Parley Green difference
Made using premium recycled materials, you can now provide environmentally-conscious families with a high-quality, sustainable choice when saying goodbye to their loved ones.
Premium, eco-friendly cardboard coffins and caskets
We specialise in premium, eco-friendly cardboard coffins and caskets, as well as our unique flat packed caskets — perfect for direct cremation. Our mission is to transform perceptions of cardboard, offering a high-quality, sustainable choice for the environmentally conscious.
A family business, five decades in the making
Operating from Dorset as part of a family-run enterprise with over five decades of manufacturing and distribution experience, our range is the result of two years of dedicated product development — and is FSA approved.
Made in the UK, not imported
Our coffins are manufactured from 80% recycled premium grade, double-walled, corrugated, sustainable cardboard — with natural rope handles, water-based adhesives and a minimal-resource manufacturing approach. Because everything is made here in the UK rather than imported, and cardboard cremates with far lower carbon emissions than wood, every coffin is a genuinely lower-impact choice.
