The first fair trade coffins, handmade from bamboo and willow by workers in Bangladesh, are being made available in the UK.
The coffins, made at a site employing around 70 people in the Nilphamari district, close to where the raw bamboo is grown, will be offered at more than 900 Co-operative Funeralcare homes across the UK.
