How To Decorate A Coffin

We frequently receive inquiries on how to decorate our natural coffins and we are delighted to provide you with a step-by-step tutorial along with helpful creative images.

Coffins made from wicker, willow, bamboo and other woven materials offer an excellent canvas for beautiful flower decorations. The weave of these coffins allows for the attachment of greenery and flowers to the sides, creating a stunning and personalised display.

With our easy-to-follow instructions and inspiring images, you can create a heartfelt and visually striking floral tribute on our natural coffins. Let your creativity flourish as you honour your loved one with a unique and personalised farewell.

When decorating a willow coffin, there are several options to choose from. For the top of the coffin you can select a single or double-ended spray. These arrangements are typically made with florists’ oasis and plastic trays. However, if you prefer a more environmentally friendly option, a loosely tied spray can be a great alternative. These arrangements use fewer materials, eliminating the need for oasis and plastic trays. Plus, you can take the tied spray home afterwards and place it in a vase as a lasting tribute.

In addition to the top arrangement, woven coffins offer a few additional decoration possibilities. You can opt for a garland of greenery to encircle the entire coffin or place small posies at intervals around the coffin. Some individuals prefer one or the other, while others choose to combine both a garland and posies. These floral arrangements can be created by a professional florist or can be done yourself. Flowers and foliage can be purchased from a florist, gathered from your own garden or responsibly foraged during walks in nature.

Let your creativity bloom as you decorate the willow coffin, creating a personalised and meaningful tribute to your loved one.
