Wool Coffins and Caskets

A comforting alternative to a traditional coffin or casket, wool coffins are expertly woven just a short distance from us over in Yorkshire. Gentle on the eye and soft to the touch, each coffin is hand crafted on the same premises that has produced the outer woollen cloth for over two hundred years.

Many of our families love wool coffins for the softer and more personalised goodbye that they allow. Suitable for both burial and cremation, the none traditional coffin shape combined with the soft touch feel and finish allow a more relatable and easier experience for those left behind.
