Cats spend much of their time defending the territory of our gardens. This casket is designed for burial of your cat in your garden or at a pet cemetery.
Garden burial of small pets is allowed in many European countries but is sometimes limited to a weight of 10kg or by other criteria.
The design is based on the classical shape of a sarcophagus but stylised as an angel, viewed from the back with its wings folded. This particular bioplastic has an off-white colour.
The dimensions of the casket are: 500 x 380 x 150 mm.
The total weight is 1350 grams.

The Garden Angel caskets are made from natural, bio-based materials. The bioplastic is 100% biodegradable, but it can also be incinerated CO2 neutral. This particular bioplastic is made up of various biopolymers, lignin, cellulose, natural oils, resins, fibers and waxes. Its surface turns glossy once vacuum formed.
The interior of the tray is lined with non-woven hemp fiber.
Several designs have preceded the final version, including one with a flat base in order for the casket to be displayed upright in a shop.
An earlier version was an Egyptian inspired casket with a relief of a stylized cat, a foam model with a flat base as well.
This pet casket consists of a peat tray and a gelatine top. The design incorporated a space for a flower bulb on top. This design was awarded with an Honorable mention at the ADCN Awards in 1995.
