Coffins

Away with Willow’s aim is to ensure a gentle, loving departure by providing at it’s heart a sustainable, environmentally friendly approach. Our 100% natural, biodegradable willow coffins are suitable for cremation, traditional burials, and green woodland burial sites*.

Away with Willow Coffins are different from other willow and wooden coffins as they have soft curved rounded ends. We keep the bark on and so, unlike the look of some other willow coffins (who use buff willow), the smell and softer feel of fresh cut willow is retained. The willow is grown and harvested in our own willow field, located next to our workshop. Each handcrafted coffin is completely unique to your loved one.
