It’s great to know that you can choose a coffin that has a low environmental impact …… These coffins are entirely biodegradable. They contain no screws or fittings that aren’t natural. They are very strong and tested to carry up to 150kg / 23 stone. The handles are woven into the structure and are stronger than handles on a traditional coffin.
We can provide many options when it comes to choosing a coffin, from traditional wooden caskets to coffins crafted from willow / wicker, bamboo, banana leaf, cane, cardboard, pandanus, seagrass, or wool.
Most of our coffins are certified by the FFMA (Funeral Furnishing Manufacturer’s Association) or the CCSA (Coffin, Casket and Shroud Association).
Our Cane coffins are a lovely natural light buff colour and come in traditional or round ended shapes. They are certified by the Funeral Furnishing Manufacturer’s Association (FFMA) for quality, strength and suitability for purpose.
Available for funeral arrangements in Manchester or for sale to other areas of the UK.
The simplest choice for an eco-friendly funeral is a cardboard coffin. They can be plain for painting or decorating (we are more than happy to do this for you) or pre-decorated. It is also possible to provide a drape to cover the coffin if you feel that it looks too unorthodox.
Cardboard coffins are welcomed for use in natural or woodland burial grounds because they are biodegradable and from sustainable resources. Also accepted at most local crematoriums.
Biodegradable and sustainable, our banana and pandanus leaf coffins are available in traditional or round ended shapes. All are certified for quality by the FFMA and/or the CCSA.
Available for funeral arrangements in Manchester or for sale to other areas of the UK.
Our Bamboo Coffins are beautifully made and a more decorative choice for a green funeral. The production encourages the use of traditional skills ensuring that the manufacturing processes are kept as green as possible.
These bamboo coffins are 100% natural and biodegradeable and have just been given the Fair Trade Organization Mark.

Our wicker coffins come in a variety of natural golden colours, and can have a band of brighter colour. Some are traditional coffin shaped, others have softer rounded ends. Because they are woven it is easy to attach flowers to a wicker coffin.
We have around fourteen different styles available for funeral arrangements in Manchester, and a smaller range for sale to other areas of the UK.
