Cardboard Coffins and Caskets

Combining style and grace with enormous strength, these are the greenest 100% recycled cardboard coffins - without compromise to build or design quality.

All are suitable for burial and cremation.

Colourful Coffins and Caskets

We really believe you should have what you want and hence we work in partnership with 'Colourful Coffins' to create uniquely personal and bespoke picture coffin designs that celebrate the life of your special loved one.

How does it work? Whilst many families choose a design straight from the catalogue or internet, most alter the design a little by changing a colour or adding an image - to make it perfect but we can offer you the opportunity to create a unique design by asking us to source images or by using home photographs, a coffin families have called 'a last gift' to their loved one.

What are they made of? Our coffins are made from materials that that come from renewable forests and are environmentally friendly with no formaldehyde content, presenting no risk of pollution to the soil. The printed designs use 'ultra' eco inks on a clever 'paper' material and are 'wrapped' by hand.

All are suitable for burial or cremation.

The interior is finished to the same high standard with a white, pink or blue frilled interior, pillow and mattress.
