Farewell English Buff Willow Coffin

Can your coffins be used for cremations, burials or woodland burials?

Yes. 
Our coffins have been certified and tested for strength, roller bearing bed usage, auto charging and radiant heat. Most importantly, each coffin conforms to the highest standards required by funeral homes, crematoriums and woodland burial sites.

 Note: If your having a natural burial we can remove the charger board from our wicker coffins to enhance the bio-degradability of the product.

Does the coffin come fully assembled with a headrest and charger board?

Can my Funeral Director refuse a coffin? No.
We've never encountered a Funeral Director that has refused a coffin from Willow. If you've been told you cannot purchase from a 3rd party please let us know at support@thinkwillow.com and we'll raise the issue with the Funeral Director.

Will you call my Funeral Director?

Yes.
Your representative will call your Funeral Director to confirm any details and check their availability to receive your delivery. If any changes to your order are required, your representative will call you to confirm before the order is processed.

How do I choose the right size?
We recommend that you allow for some room when purchasing coffin with a margin of at least 2-3 inches greater than the persons height.

Willow coffins
Our willow coffins are supplied with two types of bio-degradable liner.

The first liner is for aesthetics purposes reducing the visibility of any gaps between the natural wicker weave.

The second liner helps contain any bodily fluids. 

Please note: We can not guarantee that our liners will contain embalming fluids. This limitation is due to the varying amount of fluid each Funeral Director applies during the process of embalming. 

Cardboard
Our cardboard coffins are supplied without liners. But a linear can be purchased separately if required.

Do I need a engraved namplate?

Yes if the coffin is being cremated.
If your buying a coffin for a cremation purposes your crematorium will require a engraved nameplate. Most customers choose to write details or shortmessages on the nameplate i.e Patrick Joe Smith, 1942 - 2020, Rest In Peace.
