Outside The Box Caskets

16/01/2026

It’s been a long time in the making, but we can finally share this.

We now offer custom casket lid design, something we haven’t offered before.
Families can choose photos, a collage, or a themed design, and we create the artwork specifically for them.

On top of that, we now use 3D software so families can visualise the finished lid before it’s printed.

Available through Funeral Homes
Western Caskets

Families choose cardboard caskets for all sorts of reasons
Environmental values, simplicity, or just wanting something a bit different

An Outside The Box Casket isn’t just cardboard
- It’s simple
- It’s personal
- It’s different

Because when you think of a cardboard casket
It shouldn’t be any box at all
It should be an Outside The Box Casket
✅ One that ticks all the boxes
📦 Even while it’s outside them

Simple, sustainable, and personal cardboard caskets, made in New Zealand by Outside The Box Caskets. Designed for families who want a more personal and natural way to say goodbye.

Melbourne, that was a blast!
So good to be a part of the Australian Funerals Expo and to showcase Outside The Box Caskets to the Australian funeral industry. Proudly licensed and manufactured under Killara Co. Australia, available in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.

Thanks Killara Co. Australia for the impressive stand and the warm welcome. Loved being the first casket you see when you walk through the doors. 🙌

So true.

We don’t talk enough about how powerful it can be to capture the love in a room when we say goodbye.

Funeral photography is about capturing a family's story and emotions while farewelling a loved one.

When families are shown a casket, the question often asked is:
“What do most people choose?”

The answer is usually the same. A traditional woodgrain look.
But that is not the only choice.

No two lives are the same.
So why should every farewell look the same?

There is space for choice.
For simplicity.
For something a little different.

Because Funerals Don’t Have to Look the Same ​ In most New Zealand funeral homes, the most popular coffin is made from MDF with a woodgrain veneer. Oak finish, mahogany finish, satin finish, it...

Some of you might know the story behind Outside The Box Caskets, but for those who don’t, here’s how it all began.

A bit more of a personal story. It is more than just cardboard caskets and worth a read if you want to know the full story. This one is close to my heart. ❤️

From a spark at her Nana’s funeral to award-winning, eco-friendly designs, Becs transformed the humble cardboard casket into something strong, beautiful, and meaningful.
