Description
Shrouds with a stretcher are an alternative to a coffin, they are made from sustainable resources, and are entirely bio-degradable. You could choose to decorate a shroud with embroidery or natural paints.
In almost all cases, the crematorium or burial site will require a stretcher. This is for practical reasons.
The price shown above, £350, includes both the cotton shroud and the willow stretcher.
It is also possible to purchase the stretcher on it’s own for £250, in case you would like to provide/make your own shroud.
The shroud and stretcher are both suitable for cremation and tested by the FFMA.
Please note
- The willow lid pictured in the shroud photograph is not part of the shroud.
- We only provide this shroud as part of a funeral that you’re arranging with Natural Endings.
- Not all crematoria and burial grounds accept a shroud and stretcher, some will only accept a coffin.
- We do not sell shrouds for national delivery

Why is this shroud and stretcher not available for national delivery?
We’re sorry, we only provide this shroud and stretcher as part of a funeral that you’re arranging with Natural Endings. Your funeral director will be able to provide you with a shroud and stretcher if you wish.
How can I purchase/order?
We only provide this shroud and stretcher as part of a funeral that you’re arranging with Natural Endings. If you choose shroud as part of your funeral we will put it on the final bill which is payable by direct bank transfer. Please note, there is no VAT charged on coffins.
Will you send me a receipt?
We will send you a receipt that can be claimed with the rest of the funeral expenses from the person who has died’s estate at a later date.
Do I need a nameplate?
Cemeteries and crematoriums require that the coffin is identified with a nameplate. We can provide a nameplate or you could make one yourself. We can give you ideas if you’d like to make one yourself. A nameplate needs the following details on it: one person’s legal name, date of birth and date of death.
What is your returns policy?
We want you to be entirely happy with your purchase. You have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days of the transaction, but please ensure:
- The goods are returned intact (not open and not unpacked) and that the coffin/shroud is wrapped in its original packaging to protect it in transit.
- All original delivery labels are removed.
- Due to health and safety laws we cannot accept any coffin/shroud that has contained a dead person.
Please note we may charge a collection fee for returned items.
