Somerset Willow Coffins

Somerset Willow Coffins Somerset Willow since 1959

We pioneered the willow coffin in 1998, providing a natural alternative and helping to evolve the celebration of life.

All of our willow coffins are lovingly handcrafted by experienced basket makers, using age-old skills honed for generations. Every detail is important to us and is crafted with care and dedication. Each coffin can be personalised with a beautiful selection of coloured bands and handles upon the family’s requests. In addition, we can weave into the coffin, matching crosses, symbols and designs should this be the wish of the family. Somerset Willow Coffins make for the perfect tribute for the environmentally conscious individual seeking to have a greener send-off.

As the Bristol Balloon Fiesta fills the skies this weekend, we’re celebrating a longstanding and perhaps lesser-known part of our heritage: hot air balloon basketmaking. Creating baskets like these takes precision and skill, each one is crafted for strength, safety and durability.

We recently uncovered this 1994 Good Woodworking feature on our hot air balloon baskets — spotlighting Aubrey, second-generation co-founder, alongside Darrell, third generation, and former members of the team. A proud glimpse into our story and the craftsmanship that continues to shape it.

Our never-ending commitment.

🌍 A carbon-negative crop that absorbs more CO₂ than it releases
