Russians Opt for Cardboard Caskets as Burial Method
Modern Russians are steadily leaning towards cardboard coffins as a cheaper, eco-friendly alternative to traditional wooden ones — according to reports by Lenta, citing the Telegram channel "Russian Rite and Business."
Easy on the wallet, cardboard coffins range between 1,500 to 6,000 rubles, whereas classic lacquered wooden ones can top out at a whopping 200,000 rubles (SHOT).
The environmentally-conscious are drawn to cardboard products as they decompose in just six months, compared to decades for their wooden counterparts. Talk about a fast-track to Mother Nature's hug!
Quality and longevity aren't compromised either. Sellers boast that these cardboard wonders can hold up to an impressive 150 kilograms. Just don't try hopping onto them for a little weigh-in! During cremation, they torch quicker than the predictable wooden coffins, and the manufacturers crank it up a notch by offering personalized designs and patterns.
So why choose a cardboard coffin? Factors like affordability, eco-friendliness, and resilience make it a viable option to consider. Additional reasons include production costs being reduced due to the use of recycled materials, making them a more accessible choice for a broad spectrum of consumers (General Insights). ..and hey, Mother Nature really appreciates it, too! 😉
