The coffin
Flat-pack plywood coffin
Made from FSC-certified plywood, this coffin ships flat in one carton, which keeps freight emissions down. It goes together in about 30 minutes with wooden pegs, screws and the hand tool supplied. No glue is needed. Each coffin is furnished with a cotton lining, a filled pillow and absorbent pads, and the lid closes in two stages: the foot section can stay closed during a viewing or wake, with flowers or decorations placed on it, while the head section stays open.

Evidence and acceptance
The plywood comes from an FSC-certified supplier, and the coffin is made in a factory certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Certificates, the specification and test evidence come with the documents you can request.
Designed for cremation. The panels, lid, handles and pegs are plywood and timber, free of toxic materials, with no metal handles or fittings: the only metal is the small assembly screws. The base is flat and rigid with flush screw heads, so it runs smoothly on a trolley or charger, absorbent pads are supplied, and the coffin is carried by six load-bearing handles. Each crematorium and cemetery sets its own rules, and acceptance is their decision. Tell us which sites you work with and we will send the specification they ask for.
