Here are a few of our favorites.

Pinnacle Woodcraft Pet Casket For Pets

Simple yet dignified, this sturdy oaken casket was handmade by Amish artisans.

Paw Pods Biodegradable Pet Grave

With its unique “grave pod” design, this casket feels much sturdier and more durable than other biodegradable options.

That’s because it is made of bamboo powder, rice husks and cornstarch: materials that are in equal parts natural and durable.

The casket comes with a seeded leaf which can be placed in the ground along with your pet, and will eventually bloom into beautiful wildflowers to mark his or her final resting place.

The casket is ideal for children, who can decorate it with paint, markers and stickers and then wait for the flowers to come up, pointing to the cycles of life’s renewal.
