#$%^&*AU2011224090A120130404.pdf#####Abstract I have designed a readily biodegradable casket to meet the needs of people who do not wish for their remains to contaminate the ground, or the ground water. My casket has a lift off lid which is secured in place with bamboo pegs, which thread through corresponding holes. The outer shell and lid are made from 100% bamboo veneers, glued together with non-toxic glues. The interior lining is made from 100% bamboo fabric. The handles are made from biodegradable 100% woven hemp. No plastics are used at all.Z OK * o 0 O 0
