Wholly Native : Coffins & Urn's

Wholly Native Coffins  

 As these will normally take at least two weeks to produce. 10 days to soak and prepare the green willow (or any other with the skin still on), then another week to handmake to coffin itself. So 3 weeks is advised if wanting this 

 If speed is essential then buff willow is the go too, which is actually the green boiled then skin stripped off. Which produces a brown (toffee) colour that can be soaked easily within a few hours, rather than 

 My company's ethos – Is to look after mother nature by using only natural, bio-degradable, sustainable, English willows which are indigenous and carbon capuring ethical materials. As all materials are indigenous this keeps the my Carbon footprint as low as humanly possible.

 For these reasons I have decided to start producing my own green burial coffins. As I have found that all other coffin makers have used some form of foreign materials in their production. Either Asian bamboo as stakes in the lids, rope material that is not grown in England for carrying handles and also plywood bases for cremation and plastic sheet linings etc. These can have toxic glues within so should not be used unless confirmed. 

So I came to the conclusion that if you want something done properly you have to do it yourself. So I have sourced only English grown Ash tree's for the bottom stakes to hold the overall weight. English grown willows for the whole bodywork and handles. No string and toggles for the lid catches but instead plaited willow latches.

So you can be sure the the carbon foot print is to the minimum as all materials sourced within England. These are truly English indigenous coffins made in England. If you are interested in purchasing one of my coffins for a loved one or even yourself. Please get in contact to discuss your requirements. I make these in set sizes for stock but can make it size of given enough time.
