SINCE 1959

THE SOMERSET WILLOW COFFIN

Somerset Willow pioneered their  willow coffins in 1998, providing a natural alternative to traditional options, helping to evolve the celebration of life. Each willow coffin is made entirely by hand, using traditional techniques which have remained unchanged for generations. Willow is the perfect material, environmentally considerate to the earth, yet beautiful when woven.

The Simple Willow Coffin

Our Simple Willow coffins retain a golden appearance with a subtle pink hue. They are hand fashioned by traditional basket weavers using age-old methods, changed very little in over two thousand years.

Our Willow Coffins are available in two shapes. The traditional coffin shape, and the curved end shape.

The Curved End Willow Coffin

Our Curved Willow coffins, also known as wicker coffins, feature tapered round ends, beautifully plaited edging and natural hand-woven willow handles.  A lasting legacy and a personal tribute made with the original care and dedication that has driven our family business for over four generations.

Each willow coffin is carefully handcrafted to every individual request. Choose from two main colour finishes, buff or gold willow. Then select from one of 13 natural hand-dyed colours to personalise bands of woven willow into the coffin. Choose natural willow, rope or woven handles in complimenting colours, paying subtle homage to your loved one. You can be sure you will receive nothing less than exceptional craftsmanship. Every coffin is finished with our company badge, symbolising the quality and heritage of all our willow coffins.

Natural Woven Coffins

From Somerset Willow

£850.00

Drawing from over 50 years of experience, we offer a comforting and dignified range of natural hand-crafted wicker coffins, perfectly reflecting the individuality of a family’s loved one. At Natural Woven Coffins, we carefully source the materials used in our coffins to promote strong sustainability and to ensure the quality of our coffins are of the highest standard. Our wicker coffins form a memorable tribute and everlasting green footprint to the earth.

Banana Leaf

Available in Traditional Shape and Curved End

Attractive yarns of golden leaves from the banana plant are gently twisted and woven to form this soft and comforting range. Being the by-product of banana farming, the leaf of the banana plant is in plentiful supply and is readily available for weaving. Leaves that would otherwise be disposed of take part in a renewable natural cycle which is good for the local environment.

Cocostick

Available Only In The Traditional Shape

Our Cocostick coffins are made from the tiny stems of the coconut palm leaf, a fast-growing by-product of the coconut tree. The coconut palm leaves are dried and the stems are removed, leaving tiny sticks. The sticks are then sewn together to create the Cocostick coffins’ beautiful colour combinations.
