Content: While Costco says it delivers in 2 days, not all coffin companies offer the same quick service. It can be stressful if the coffin is not delivered on time or if the funeral director is not available at the allocated time to accept delivery. There aren’t many places in Australia that consumers can go to buy coffins directly, but two options include Costco and Coffin World. Cardboard Coffins
Cardboard coffins can be a cheap option for families. However, not all cardboard coffins are as cheap as you’d expect, so it’s important to do your research. Some cardboard coffins that are printed with custom designs and photos can even be more expensive than your basic traditional coffins. Burial Shrouds
While not technically a coffin, if you are open to a green funeral (an option that has been growing in popularity over the past few years), you could opt to be buried in a shroud. A shroud is simply a length of cloth that gets wrapped around the deceased and is typically made from cotton, wool or linen. Shrouds are much cheaper than coffins. Wicker coffins are another green option which can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional coffins.
