Wicker Coffin, Cardboard Coffin & Ecoffins for Natural & Woodland Burials across Northampton, Wellingborough & Kettering

Wicker, Seagrass, Cardboard & Banana Leaf Coffins

Our eco coffins are a requirement for natural burial grounds and woodland burials, which are becoming increasingly popular as people seek more sustainable and natural ways to say goodbye to their loved ones. However, our eco coffins are also available for any funeral, offering an alternative to our standard coffins.

At Hollowell’s, we understand that many people are looking for environmentally friendly options when it comes to funerals. That’s why we offer a range of eco coffins which offers eco friendly materials and are not only better for the environment but also provide a more natural and organic feel to the funeral.

One of our most popular eco coffin options is the wicker coffin, which is handcrafted using sustainable materials such as bamboo, willow or seagrass. These coffins are biodegradable and offer a natural, organic look and feel that many people find comforting. Our cardboard coffin option is made from recycled materials and are an affordable and environmentally friendly option. These coffins can be customised with a range of designs and colors, allowing families to personalise the coffin to reflect their loved one’s personality and interests.

Due to the nature of the materials and the different suppliers used in the manufacture of this type of eco coffins, there may be significant colour variations compared to the pictures shown. We cannot guarantee that any coffin selected will match exactly the picture shown. From time to time the availability of this type of coffin may be limited by the supplier.

Choosing an Eco Coffin

Banana leaf, Bamboo, Willow and Seagrass coffins are all environmentally friendly burial options that share the common characteristic of being biodegradable. However, there are some differences among them. They each have their own origins and appearance.

Seagrass coffins

Seagrass coffins are made from seagrass fibres, which are aquatic plants found in shallow coastal waters.

Banana leaf coffins

Banana leaf coffins are made from dried banana leaves, which are a byproduct of banana plantations. In appearance, they have a natural, earthy colour and a textured surface.

Bamboo Coffins

Bamboo coffins are crafted from bamboo, a fast-growing and renewable plant. They have a smooth and sleek appearance with bamboo’s characteristic grain pattern.

Willow Coffins

Willow coffins are woven from willow branches, typically sourced from willow trees. The way willow branches are woven gives a rustic and traditional appearance.

Bamboo and willow are also known for being particularly sustainable choices as they are fast-growing and can be harvested without causing significant harm to the plant population.
