Wegnalls Willow coffins

Beautiful. Natural. Sustainable.

At Wegnalls Willow Coffins, we believe in creating handcrafted willow coffins that are beautiful but also made with care and sensitivity.

We are guided by four key values: Compassion, Sustainability, Connection, and Craftsmanship. Each coffin we create reflects these core principles and you can learn more about how these values are woven into every coffin we make here.
