We are able to source any type of coffin you wish, from our standard wood effect coffin (see The London Coffin below) to eco-friendly coffins made entirely of natural, biodegradable materials such as willow, wool or bamboo.
We encourage the use of materials from FSC approved, sustainable sources and water-based glues and lacquers, avoiding plastic and toxic materials where possible (see Environmental Credentials below). A selection of our coffins is provided below, with many more available.
