The Leafcocoon
The Leafcocoon is the most environmentally friendly option for a burial. An alternative to a conventional coffin, the simplicity and directness of being wrapped in a soft woolly shroud or cocoon brings us gently back to our connection with Nature. We are part of Nature, not apart from her, and this is the simplest and most eloquent expression of this connection. The materials are sourced from these isles and certified either organic (the cream felt) or regenerative natural brown felt (currently unavailable). The thickness and enfolding layers of felt give a smooth outline, unlike a conventional cloth wrap and more like a papoose. The Leafcocoon can be used in any cemetery, churchyard, natural burial ground or home burial. As with all my products, it is entirely plastic-free.
A tested (FSA) and adapted board can be provided if this is for a cremation and we will check direct with the crematorium for suitability.
