With regard to an article printed in the Weekend Sun (17 February, p. 22 ) I'd like to say that the cardboard coffin and covering system have been available in Tauranga, to my certain knowledge, for many years.
It is not a new development as portrayed via the information supplied in that interview. The originator has now retired to be with family in Australia, but the Funeral Trust he established in Tauranga is still operating.
