As a green funeral directors with a holistic and ethical approach we are always keen to find
coffins that are both beautifully made and fair trade.
We have found the coffins at WinterWillow to be really sound to work with and our clients
are especially interested in the background of their production and that they are supporting
a community project.
We have now used these coffins on a number of occasions and have never been let down
regarding the quality of workmanship.

Dear Tracy
We love the coffin so much in that it has been made by those you so wonderfully support, that we have decided to send a donation of £55 to your charity...
The coffin looks wonderful in the Resource Centre
With kindest regards
J&D at The Martinsey Isle Trust, Dorset.

Dear Willow Team,
Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful wicker coffin you made for my mother, who was buried at the Arbory Trust.
It was even better because it is a valuable project
– keep up the good work !
Kind regards

Dear Roger
I'd really like to THANK YOU for being so patient with me and helping me weave the special wedding hamper.
It looks wonderful – my daughter was very impressed and is now helping me fill it with ‘posh’ food
for the happy couple!!
I am so impressed with your basket making setup at Overstream House – you are doing a great job and are on inspiration to the group there. Hope to drop in soon to see you all.
Much Love S (2010)
Dear Roger & Richard
My friend J and I would like to thank you very much for demonstrating your willow work at the Marie Curie Tea party on Friday last.
I am sorry that you did not actually make any sales
but several people have commented to me and I have been pleased to recommend you to them …..
Kind regards to you both and all at Wintercomfort

Dear Tracy,
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful coffin you supplied at the beginning of this month through R.J.Pepper of Cottenham for my Mother In Law. The workmanship was first class. It was such a unique item and much admired.
Yours sincerely
Mrs D. K. - Cambridge (November 2011)
