Coffins and Shrouds
Our Range of Coffins
When it comes to our coffins and Shrouds we pride ourselves on being able to offer you a selection of the most environmentally sustainable coffins we can find. Although there are many options out there claiming to be ‘green’, when you scratch the surface, it appears that not all green credentials are equal. Below are those we feel are as green as you can currently get. We will be keeping our eyes open as materials and other sustainable coffin makers appear. So that we can bring you the most sustainable products. We have included in the selection our beautiful shrouds which are also an option at many burial grounds.
Of course, if you prefer to provide your own coffin you can do so, we would just ask that you let us know what you have chosen so that we can be sure it meets the requirements of the final resting place. If you have any questions about any of the coffins and shrouds here or any other options available to you, please do get in touch.
