Willow Coffins
We made our first willow coffin in 1998 and since then we have not looked back, each willow coffin made is as important as the first and with every coffin being finished and made by hand using locally grown willow from the Somerset levels our willow coffins are the perfect tribute. Families can personally contribute to each willow coffin by choosing from a range of coloured banding and handles to make each coffin individual and special. We will always endeavour to do that extra bit if it helps, that's what’s important to us.

Our willow coffins are among the most environmentally friendly coffins available, we believe that our coffins are the ultimate in environmental recycling as willow is a highly renewable crop harvested each year which involves minimal processing, can degrade rapidly in soil and helps to lock carbon emissions into its willow stems.

The Company
We are based near the town of Bridgwater at the heart of the Somerset Levels and employ a workforce of 24 key staff of which 14 are trained basket makers, each employee must complete a minimum five year training program which is set by the company. This ensures that each product we make is of the highest possible standard and quality. Doing this allows us to stick to our original principals that the company set out in 1959 and move from strength to strength in the future years to come.
