Eco Coffins for Burial and Cremation
EcoCoffin is a UK-based, family-friendly coffin maker with a simple purpose: a more natural, dignified and affordable farewell. Each coffin is handcrafted in Indonesia from just five natural materials — woven natural fibres and core rattan, mango wood, organic cotton, eco-friendly glue and natural rope handles — with no metal or plastic anywhere.
Unlike many coffin suppliers who sell only to the funeral trade, we sell directly to you as well as to funeral directors. There is no trade account needed and no middleman adding cost. Whether you are arranging a funeral yourself, planning ahead, or working alongside a funeral director, you can choose the coffin that feels right and order it in a few minutes.

Why Choose an Eco Coffin
Choosing an eco coffin is a meaningful decision, and its benefits reach well beyond the environmental ones. Families consistently tell us they value:
- Biodegradable materials — natural fibres and wood that return gently to the earth.
- No metal or plastic — clean, natural construction with nothing synthetic.
- Lower environmental impact — a smaller footprint for both burial and cremation.
- Suitability for green funerals — ideal for woodland and natural burial grounds.
- Affordability — handmade quality from £325, often well below the cost of a traditional coffin.
An eco friendly coffin lets a final farewell reflect the values someone held in life, a quiet and lasting expression of care for the world they leave behind.
Suitable for Every Farewell
Our coffins are designed and weight-tested for burial and cremation alike. They are accepted at UK crematoria, ideal for woodland and natural burial grounds, and as an FSA member we are accepted by funeral directors nationwide. If your funeral director has not worked with us before, we are glad to speak with them directly.
How to Order
We have made ordering as simple as possible at a difficult time:
- Choose your coffin and size, then order online, or call us on 01277 815055 if you would rather speak to someone first.
- Tell us where to deliver — to your funeral director's premises or to a private address.
- We deliver free of charge to your funeral director. If you need it sooner, express delivery within 1–3 working days is available for £75, same-day delivery is sometimes possible by arrangement, and free collection from our Brentwood warehouse in Essex is also an option.
Every coffin arrives respectfully packaged and ready for the service.
Crafted with Care, Built to Last
Behind every coffin is patient, traditional craftsmanship. Skilled artisans weave and build each one by hand, so no two are ever exactly alike. Our patented design is weight-tested to 190kg (30 stone) and built on a solid wooden base that sits securely on church trestles, crematorium runners and hearse decks.
We are proud of our reputation for craftsmanship, reliability and genuine support. Our UK-based team is always happy to help, with no pressure and no obligation. You can read what families have said about us on our reviews page.
