Costs of mortuary shelf

New alternatives

Since the Lijkomhulselbesluit in 1998, and especially since the withdrawal of all regulations regarding corpse shrouds in 2013, it has been possible to be buried without a coffin. The alternative is to wrap the deceased in a cloth, a shroud , and place it on a portable bier. This alternative has been around for years now, but is still something new to many people. With new alternatives, the question often arises as to how much this costs. That is why we will tell you everything about the costs of a bier.

Costs of mortuary shelf

To meet everyone's needs, we have mortuary boards in different prices, roughly ranging from €200 and €900. The main reasons for the difference in price are the material and the processing. For example, the bamboo of our Bamboo bier is a very fast growing crop compared to Willow twigs. In addition, special actions, such as bending wood for our Earth Plank and carefully weaving our Willow Bowl , are quite labor-intensive. Ultimately, the most important thing for us is that both the cheaper and the more expensive bier boards are of good quality. We also take care of that.

Without coffin: bier and shroud

To replace a coffin, a shroud is needed in addition to a bier. A complete set is available from just €490 with our Nature set , which is cheaper than most coffins. This set was specially developed for an affordable Green funeral and is completely naturally biodegradable. Because there is a lot of variation in the price of both shrouds and bier boards, you have complete control over the final costs.
