Beschreibung
Every passing second, 1.5 lives come to an end. The majority of these bodies are either buried or cremated. However, cremation creates air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide, and one cremation is estimated to produce 535 pounds of carbon dioxide. Also, the paint, metal, and chemicals used in traditional burial methods pollute the soil and the water. Furthermore, traditional coffins use up valuable resources such as wood, steel, copper, and bronze. In just one year, the amount of casket wood used is equivalent to around 4 million acres of forest. These present the critical need for a sustainable alternative.
Timeless is an idea of a funeral service firm that offers basic services such as funeral arrangements, death registration, and virtual obituaries. However, what makes this idea stand out from others is the signature product, the Ecoffin, short for eco coffin, which is a coffin with its ribs crafted from sustainably sourced wood that is salvaged from old structures and its planes constructed using biodegradable materials such as bamboo and recycled cardboard. Then, it is put together with plant-based glue. This would be a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to traditional burial methods.
Additionally, we would offer a do-it-yourself option. We believe that constructing their own coffins would allow the families to create a truly personalized and unique final resting place for their loved ones. Plus, they would be able to actively participate in the funeral process, fostering a sense of connection and honoring the deceased.
Our customers would also have access to seed-infused paper for personalized messages that can be planted with the coffin to grow into memorial trees. Furthermore, to minimize carbon emissions associated with transportation, we would also offer online memorial websites and virtual gathering options for families to consider. Timeless would also incorporate cutting-edge hologram and VR technology to commemorate and memorialize the deceased while maintaining sustainability.
All these sustainable approaches would create a new and innovative viewpoint on these challenging times for the families.
