Welcome to Jibana
At Jibana, we understand that the passing of a loved one is a deeply personal and poignant experience. We’re here to help you farewell your loved one with beautiful, sustainably and consciously crafted products. We are a locally owned family business based in Auckland, New Zealand, and we’re proud to be your local supplier for eco-friendly funeral products.
Our Philosophy
At the core of Jibana is a desire to provide you with the most environmentally conscious and responsible options available. We are driven by the belief that our choices can contribute to a better world, both for the environment and the communities we support. Each of our products are crafted with the highest standards of care, ensuring a meaningful and dignified farewell for your loved ones.
Our Products
Our curated collection features contemporary caskets, urns and scatter tubes made from sustainable materials such as willow, bamboo, seagrass, and jute. These materials are thoughtfully selected for their minimal environmental impact and their ability to provide a natural and elegant final tribute.
Seagrass: Sourced from the freshwater plant abundantly grown in the Noakhali district of Bangladesh, our seagrass caskets are sun-dried, spun, and woven onto a bamboo frame, offering a gentle and natural feel.
Willow: Hand-woven onto bamboo frames, our willow coffins come in a traditional oval shape and are available in both chestnut and natural colour. Each piece is designed with care and craftsmanship, reflecting a timeless elegance.
Bamboo: Our bamboo products are made from locally grown, sustainably managed bamboo plants in Bangladesh. Our suppliers work closely with 40 local producers, ensuring fair prices and fostering positive relationships within the community.
Jute: This unique material is sourced from local farms in Bangladesh. After harvesting during the monsoon season, the jute fibers are carefully processed and woven into a beautiful fabric, making Jibana a pioneer in incorporating jute into casket manufacturing.
Our Commitment
We are unwavering in our commitment to provide exceptional products and services. We recognise the importance of honouring loved ones with respect and dignity, and we strive to offer the highest standards of ethically hand-crafted products. We understand the urgency required in accessing your chosen casket or urn for tight time frames, offering fast collection options from our Auckland location. Our dedication extends beyond our products to include exceptional customer care, ensuring that we support you throughout this sensitive time.
Social and Environmental Impact
Our commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with our dedication to social responsibility. The materials we use are not only eco-friendly but also contribute to positive social impact. Our caskets and urns, for instance, are crafted by skilled artisans in Bangladesh, providing fair wages and fostering economic development in a region facing extreme poverty.
Additionally, our suppliers are accredited as full members of ECOTA (Bangladesh Fair Trade Forum) and the World Fair Trade Organisation. By choosing Jibana, you are not only making a choice for a more sustainable future, you are also supporting meaningful causes that make a lasting difference.
Our Team
Jibana is a locally owned and operated family business based in Auckland, New Zealand. Jo, our Founder and Managing Director, is passionate about caring for people and the environment. Having experienced a lot of personal loss in her life, she understands the enormity of having to make decisions when farewelling loved ones, and was determined to provide a beautiful, environmentally and socially conscious casket and urn option to the New Zealand market. And so Jibana was birthed.
