Sustainable eco-coffins direct from Natural Endings

Natural Endings provide a wide range of eco-friendly coffins. We source our coffins from experienced coffin designers and makers, who are all committed to using the most environmentally sustainable materials as possible, with the vast majority being entirely biodegradable.

Material choices are all natural – wooden, willow (also known as wicker), bamboo, banana leaf, cane, cardboard, pandanus, seagrass, or wool. Most of our coffins are certified by the FFMA (Funeral Furnishing Manufacturer’s Association) or the CCSA (Coffin, Casket and Shroud Association).

Our coffins are available as part a funeral you’re arranging with Natural Endings. You can also buy most of our coffins for direct delivery to your chosen funeral service provider, or to your home if you live out of our area. Some of our coffins are available for collection only from our main premises in Todmorden or Manchester office address.

All coffins are appropriate for cremation, traditional burial, and woodland burial, and are available in a range of sizes.

Banana leaf coffins

Cardboard coffins

The simplest choice for an eco-friendly funeral is a cardboard coffin. They can be plain for painting or decorating (we are more than happy to do this for you) or pre-decorated. It is also possible to provide a drape to cover the coffin if you feel that it looks too unorthodox.

Pandanus Leaf Coffins

Pandanus leaves are woven alongside rattan when making these bio-degradable eco-coffins. Pandanus (wild pineapple) is an alternative to seagrass, when woven it is almost indistinguishable from seagrass.

Our willow coffins (also known as wicker coffins) come in a variety of natural golden colours, and can have a band of brighter colour. Because they are woven it is easy to attach flowers to a willow coffin.
