Description

Introducing the new Generations™ line of sustainably made caskets from Batesville Caskets, that can be personalized:

“We chose environmentally friendly materials that are respectful of our resources and don’t negatively impact or limit their availability for future generations. From harvesting fast-growing and abundant hardwoods native to the U.S., to using all-natural cotton that is sustainably grown and distributed, water-based stains with low VOCs, and minimal metal elements, every decision is intentional with an eye toward sustainability.

There are examples throughout the manufacturing process:

• More of every tree is used in manufacturing than with other wood products to minimize waste.

• The fabric finishing process uses 100% filtered water that is recycled for reuse in each dying process.

• Water-based wash finishes don’t require special respiratory equipment for application and can be cleaned up without harsh chemicals, making them easier to work with.

Batesville collaborated with experts to select the right materials and tailor its manufacturing processes as needed without sacrificing quality, functionality, or beauty.”
