JC Atkinson\u2019s Oasis fairtrade coffins, like the rest of the Country Range they sit within are made using only sustainable materials. Willow, bamboo and seagrass coffins are all expertly handcrafted into traditional and oval shaped coffins that are biodegradable, suitable for all types of natural or traditional burials, and have been independently tested and accepted for cremation.\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What makes Oasis special though, is their fairtrade status.\u00a0 Based in Northern Bangladesh in Nilphamari, a small village 400km north of the capital city, Dhaka, their mission is to create quality woven coffins and create quality jobs for people who desperately need quality work. \u00a0Oasis Coffins helps to support a district that suffers from extreme poverty (the average wage is between \u00a338-\u00a360 per month) by offering the support of fairtrade principles to its workers, alongside benefits such as a pension, holiday and sick pay and healthcare cover.<\/p>

They are active members of the World Fair Trade Organisation and have been endorsed by Traidcraft, an independent fairtrade organisation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
