Baby Crib Casket
Our tiny Baby Crib casket features a gently raised lid with carefully plaited edging and a set of small braided loops with wooden toggles. We make our willow Baby Crib casket with sensitivity in mind, each one made in our workshops in Somerset using natural willow and using completely natural processes. Every wicker casket is made with the same care and dedication that has driven our family business for over four generations.
The casket is carefully lined with natural cotton, featuring a softly pleated frill and small round pillow. It is then finished with natural wadding to provide comfort.
Choose from two natural colour finishes, natural white or buff willow. Alternatively, choose from two hand-painted finishes; baby pink or baby blue. In addition, you can select to have natural hand-dyed colours of willow woven into the casket, for this you can select between baby pink or baby blue.
Please note our willow coffins are unique, individual and use natural materials. The look and finishes may vary slightly from the pictures shown, this is part of the natural product.
We are proud supporters of the Child Funeral Charity, working closely with families in need.
Colour Finishes
Choose from two main colour finishes
Natural White
Natural white willow holds a cream off-white hue and is traditionally reserved for special items such as baby cribs, linen and washing baskets. Our white willow once cut, is kept in water for a period of time before being stripped without the usual boiling process, this preserves the attractive white colour of the natural willow.
Buff
Our natural buff willow finish ranges from a dark orange hue to a chestnut-brown appearance. The colouration comes from the willow being boiled for over eight hours before being stripped ready for use. Willow is a coppice material and grows naturally from a crown, the crowns are arranged in rows which are harvested annually.
Choose hand-dyed colours for personalisation.
If you like you can select colours of hand-dyed willow to be carefully woven into distinctive bands around the top and bottom of your coffin, in addition you can also have matching handles. The dye used in our colouring process is a natural fabric dye derived from natural salts and colouring agents.
