Description

The leaf cocoon coffin is fully biodegradable and a complete alternative to conventional coffins, designed for an environmentally friendly traditional, meadow or woodland burial. It is leaf-shaped, reflecting our connection with nature, with a smooth outline because of the many layers of thick felt.

The base of the leafcocoon is made of a strong wooden frame encased in felt.   It has six strong handles to ensure that the leaf cocoon can be safely carried and bespoke versions can be made to order if a specific size/weight bearing is required.  This coffin is made by Bellacouche using 100% natural locally sourced materials.

We wrote a short blog about green funeral choices and natural burial – here we talk about some of the choices a family had made to minimize the impact on the environment.
