English Willow Coffin – Traditional

Our English Willow coffins are beautifully handwoven by skilled craftsmen with long family histories in willow weaving, using traditional methods and great attention to detail.

• Willow has been grown on the Somerset levels for centuries and as it regenerates easily once harvested, it has become a popular sustainable choice.
• Different colours are achieved by using natural methods of drying, boiling or stripping of the willow bark.
• For a more colourful appearance, the willow strands can also be dyed in a range of natural colours.
• Each of these has a plait at the edge of the lid, a stripe in the middle and at the bottom for a pleasing contrast.
