Wegnalls Willow coffins

Beautiful. Natural. Sustainable.

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

From preparing the bases to sewing the lining, Wegnalls Willow Coffins and ashes caskets are lovingly made from start to finish in our Herefordshire workshop.
