Ecopod
The Ecopod was designed by Hazel Selina who spent many years working with natural birth. Now that her family have grown up she feels it is time to turn her attention to the primal event of death.
Hazel has had a lifelong interest in Ancient Egypt and the rituals surrounding birth and death. She is also a friend of the earth and concerned about the pressing issues of Ecology.
It was this interest in Ecology, and the fact that a friend she was caring for was dying, that prompted her to begin an investigation into funerals and particularly coffins.
Research from The Natural Death Centre in London, showed that 89% of coffins used every year, some 600,000, are made from chipboard covered with laminate. The Ecopod is 100% environmentally friendly and will not pollute the atmosphere or earth. 861
