Unique Product Features:
1. Willow Salix Cordata Americana.
It is an annual plant which grows on plantations. Dry willow is soaked in water for few hours, then boiled in boilers by 2-3 hours at temperature above 100 degrees C. After cooling, the willow is peeled off the bark on manual debarkers. The drying process takes place on the fresh air, so that the willow gets a natural honey-brown colour.
2. Pine wood.
The bottom of coffins are made from pine wood joined together by wooden pegs. We use minimum glue of vegetable origin.
3. Hemp string.
We use hand woven, natural hemp string obtained from hemp plants.
4. Wood stain.
For your coloured coffins we use water-based wood stain.
The Oval coffin has a more modern minimalist shape for coffin design, with its organic
elliptical shape and delicate detailing. This charming fiddleback maple or walnut is lacquered in a water- based soft sheen finish, bringing out the delicate pearlescent colour and depth
of the maple. Gold edge detailing is applied to the base and top.
