Coffins are a lot like clothing: they’re designed to keep us comfortable in our final resting place. Wool is an ideal material for casket and coffin construction because it has been used for centuries as a textile, and it’s biodegradable.

Not only that, but wool coffins also have many other benefits over traditional coffins made from other materials such as metal or plastic.

Wool coffins are made from the same materials you wear on your body.

Wool is a natural material that comes from sheep. It’s renewable, so it can be used and reused without harming the environment. Wool is also soft and warm, breathable, durable and fire retardant—it won’t burn like cotton or synthetic fabrics do. 

In addition to all this, wool is antibacterial (meaning it doesn’t attract odor-causing bacteria), hypoallergenic (which means you won’t get rashes or other skin irritations), and easy to clean: just toss your wool products into the washing machine with warm water.

Wool coffins decompose in six to nine months

Wool is a renewable resource. Unlike wood, plastic, or metal, wool decomposes in six to nine months. This means it doesn’t sit around in landfills for years and years. Wool is also biodegradable, meaning that it can be recycled into new materials once its useful life has come to an end—a perfect example of how conservation can extend beyond simple recycling practices!

Wool coffins are affordable

The price of a wool coffin is lower than that of other coffins. It will cost you between $300 and $500 to buy a wool coffin, compared with more than $1,000 for the same size wooden casket. A metal casket can cost up to $3,000 or more.

Wool is the perfect material for a coffin.

Wool is a natural material that’s proven to be the perfect material for a coffin. Wool is fire retardant, biodegradable, affordable, and customizable. It’s also sustainable and non-toxic.

Conclusion

The use of wool as a material for coffins is an idea that has been around since the 1970s, but it’s only now becoming popular. With its many benefits over traditional coffins, we expect to see more companies offering wool as an option in the near future.
