What makes Return to Sender different?

Return to Sender believe in using design principles in support of the environment. A family that values beauty, design, creativity, integrity and nature will find a Return to Sender coffin is the perfect departing vessel.

They use natural materials as much as possible – water-based colours, natural finishes, wool fleece instead of synthetic fabrics, corn starch and leather in place of plastic. Material use is kept to a minimum and clever design features such as timber locking mechanisms, reduce the need for non-decaying fixings.

Furthermore, Return to Sender coffins are part of Ashton Manufacturing’s Memorial Tree Program, whereby a native tree is planted on behalf of the family when they choose one of these coffins. This becomes a living legacy of a family’s loved one and helps in Ashton’s quest to reduce its environmental footprint.
