Natural Legacy
natural wool coffins
A comforting and gentle way to say goodbye
Woven and hand made in Yorkshire
Natural Legacy is the beautiful and comforting alternative to a traditional coffin or casket. Gentle on the eye and soft to the touch, our coffins and caskets are loved by families who want a more personalised goodbye.
A natural way to say goodbye
We are committed to giving families a choice when arranging their loved ones funerals. Our aim is to provide an option that allows a softer goodbye without the cold trappings of a traditional coffin .
Coffins
Suitable for both burial and cremation, the non-traditional coffin shape combined with the soft finish allow a more relatable and easier experience for those left behind, and can be particularly comforting to sensitive or younger members of a congregation. The woollen outer layer is carefully hand fitted around a strong 100% recycled cardboard frame, which is reinforced with an MDF base board for rigidity and stability, and then carefully lined with a soft woollen wadding for a mattress base. Each coffin interior is generously lined with cotton, attractively edged with jute and completed with a soft cotton covered and wool filled pillow, while the exterior is finished with a beautiful blanket stitch detail, jute handles and simple wooden toggle fastenings.
Caskets
The Ash Casket from Natural Legacy is soft and multifunctional. The ashes are received by the family within a secondary internal box, which can then be removed for scattering or buried, leaving the tactile outer to be used as a memory box holding precious moments and treasures belonging to the deceased.
The personal touch
Natural Legacy coffins and ash caskets are both completed with a delicately stitched personalised nameplate, which can be neatly attached to the coffin using two wooden toggles. A smaller more personal plate can be supplied for the head of the coffin which many families find consoling to save as a keepsake following the funeral.
Sustainability
Our Natural Legacy products are made using a combination of recycled cardboard, cotton and natural wool. These materials, when tested, readily biodegrade in a relatively short period of time in normal soil conditions. Our coffins have been FFMA approved and are suitable for burial and cremation.
