Eco-Caskets

Our Willow Caskets are very environmentally friendly, as the only energy usage involved is the natural sun and rain required to grow the raw materials.

If the caskets are to be cremated, then no toxins will be released into the atmosphere.  If interred, then their expected degradable rate is five years.

Demand for our caskets has been continually growing, as families choose more eco-friendly ways of saying goodbye to their loved ones.

SDE currently manufactures these eco-caskets on behalf of State Of Grace.  You can be redirected to their site simply by clicking on their logo here on the right.    

 

Deb & Fran, Directors - State of Grace write:

"We could not be more proud to be distributors of the beautiful, hand-woven willow caskets made by Southland disABILITY Enterprises.   They have been a wonderfully reliable company to deal with. 

Orders arrived when promised, any changes to design have been accommodated quickly, and the products are of the highest standard.

A request for at-cost baby caskets was quickly met and these have been of great comfort to parents who suffer the loss of a baby.

We are grateful to Southland disABILITY Enterprises for supplying a sustainable product that fits well within our criteria as a sustainable business."

Fire Baskets

SDE also produces fire baskets for the New Zealand Fire Service.

Lawrence Bevin, Region Support Officer, Southern Region - NZ Fire Service writes:

"As users of the Cane Suction Basket, which comes complete with a squirt, I would like to advise you that over the years we have been impressed with your product and especially your ability to make subtle changes if required.

Delivery times are good and there is never any issue with invoicing.

Your products are used extensively throughout Otago and Southland, and we look forward to continuing our ongoing relationship."

If your business has a cane product need, then why not discuss it with us? 
We grow all our own cane, so may be able to help you as you help us.































Please support the organisations who support us.  Without them we couldn't do as much as we do.
