Sustainability

We’re Eco-friendly and Sustainable

American–made and environmentally conscious, all Sauder caskets are manufactured with engineered wood.  With good forestry and timbering practices, wood is one of few truly renewable resources. Every piece of lumber that we use is harvested from a sustabable forest. 
 
We also convert residual sawdust into electricity with our very own cogeneration plant. Any remaining sawdust wood waste provides a variety of sustainable uses, like animal bedding.

Sauder was founded on the principles of stewardship and servanthood. Three generations later, our family continues to honor these values with environmentally responsible processes that endeavor to preserve the future of our world. And with continuous advancements in water, energy, greenhouse gasses, waste and recycling, we’re well on our way.

When you choose a Sauder casket, you honor your loved one with a beautiful, eco-friendly casket and take care of forests for future generations.
