Child’s Curved Gold Willow Coffin
Our Child’s Curved Gold Willow Coffin features tapered round ends, beautifully plaited edging and natural hand-woven willow handles. We make each Child’s coffins with sensitivity in mind, each one made in our workshops in Somerset using natural willow and using completely natural processes. Every wicker coffin is made with the same care and dedication that has driven our family business for over four generations.
Choose from two main colour finishes, buff or gold willow. Then select from one of 13 natural hand-dyed colours to personalise bands of woven willow into the coffin. Choose natural willow, rope or woven handles in complimenting colours.
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
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.
Weatherbeaten Gold™
Weatherbeaten Gold is our signature finish. The willow has a golden hue which holds a subtle weathered appearance. For Weatherbeaten Gold we keep back the lightest harvest willow, we then boil for over 8 hours before stripping and treating to produce this unique colour.
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.
Finishing Touches

Our Interiors
All our coffins feature beautiful interiors made from natural calico cotton. As standard this includes a cotton lining, pillow and a cover sheet. We can accommodate more elaborate interiors on request where we pad and cushion the bottom and sides of our coffins using natural wadding.

Embellishment
For a personal touch, our coffins can be decorated with a woven cross or other simple motifs on request.
