Over the past number of years, there has been a considerable increase in individuals choosing a natural burial. With natural burials having a lesser negative impact on the environment, it is easy to see why a green burial may be preferable. Natural burials have also been considered a more gentle way of coming to rest, allowing the individual to ‘return to the earth’ as a means of conserving it. As a manufacturer of memorials for all, and in keeping with our own sustainable ethos, ensuring that we offer a range of memorials that would be suitable for a natural burial is something that we are passionate about. This is why when we stumbled upon PaperStone, we were glad to be able to add this material to our growing memorial range.
What Is PaperStone?
You might be wondering, what is PaperStone? Fortunately, we can explain a little more about how this material comes together. PaperStone is a unique material constructed of recycled FSC paper and cardboard layered up and bound with a petroleum-free, pigmented natural resin (the photo below illustrates what it looks like on the inside). Fun fact – the resin is extracted from the shells of cashew nuts! These layers are pressed under extreme heat thus creating PaperStone. It is smooth to the touch, lightweight and (perhaps above all), sustainable. PaperStone is supplied to us in a range of select colours, and we can work with this material to achieve a wide range of results.
When we put PaperStone to the test, we were in awe of the way that it showcased a variety of designs. From intricately detailed imagery to bold and simple designs, this versatile material is something special! These qualities should allow you to design a memorial that is just what your mind’s eye imagines. This is something that we pride ourselves on doing across each memorial that we craft. We appreciate how tough it can be to go through the process of ordering a memorial which is why we make each piece to order so that we can get your memorial just right for you. From size, shape and design – our priority is that you receive a memorial that celebrates and honours the life you are celebrating.
