Each of the materials above will biodegrade slowly once buried. 

The production process of these caskets is eco-friendly.  They are handmade and use sustainable materials that cause no harm to the environment when harvested.

2. Average Biodegradable Casket Cost is Less Than a Traditional Casket

Traditional funeral caskets come at a premium.  Its costs manufacturers a lot of money, time, and energy to produce them. 
 
This is why funeral home providers charge you $2,000-$10,000 just for the casket alone.
 
Biodegradable caskets coffins are cheaper to produce, which result in you paying less for them.
 
The average cost for a biodegradable casket is $1,000- $2,000.

3. FTC Funeral Rule Protects You From Being Ripped Off  

All funeral homes must abide by the funeral rule.

The funeral rule was created by the FTC to stop funeral homes from shady business practices like bait and switching their unsuspecting customers.

By law, every funeral home must show you their price list should you ask to see it.  On the price list, you will see each item or service itemized.

This includes their general price list for service and also their casket price list.

The key takeaway is that the funeral rule helps you to save money.  The law allows you the freedom to purchase funeral products from other vendors and use them for the funeral service.

This includes caskets. 

You are not required to choose the casket options provided by the funeral home.  Legally a funeral home must make accommodations to accept outside caskets if you find them cheaper elsewhere.
