Eco Wooden Coffins – Sustainable Wooden Coffins for Burial & Cremation

For many families, a wooden coffin feels like the most natural choice of all: familiar, dignified, and quietly traditional. Our eco wooden coffins keep everything people love about solid wood while leaving out everything the planet doesn't need. Each one is handmade from sustainably sourced natural solid wood, finished with a biodegradable polish, and built without metal or plastic.

The result is a coffin that balances tradition with sustainability, suitable for burial and cremation alike and priced at £500. You can order online with free delivery to your funeral director, and as an FSA member we are accepted by funeral directors nationwide. Below, you can explore the collection, see what makes it different, and order in a few minutes.

What Makes Our Eco Wooden Coffins Sustainable

A traditional coffin often hides metal fittings, plastic linings and chemical lacquers beneath its polished surface. Ours takes a different path.

Sustainably Sourced Solid Wood

Every coffin is crafted from solid natural wood drawn from responsibly managed sources, so the trees behind each coffin are part of a renewable cycle rather than lost to it. This keeps the tradition of a wooden farewell alive without costing the forests that make it possible.

Biodegradable Construction

From the solid wood frame and base to the finish itself, the whole coffin is designed to break down naturally in the soil. There are no harmful chemicals to leach into the ground, just wood returning to the earth as it always has. That makes it a genuine option for green and natural burials, not only conventional ones.

Plastic-Free, Naturally Finished

You will find no plastic handles, synthetic veneers or metal ornaments anywhere. The interior is lined with natural cotton, the surfaces are smoothly polished wood, and a wooden nameplate offers a personal touch without compromising the coffin's natural character.

Natural Wood Coffins for Burial and Cremation

Families often ask whether one coffin can serve either type of farewell. With ours, the answer is yes. Our natural wood coffins are designed and weight-tested for both burial and cremation, and as an FSA member we are accepted by funeral directors nationwide.

For cremation, the absence of metal and synthetic materials means a cleaner process. For burial, including woodland and natural burial grounds, the biodegradable construction allows the coffin to return gently to the soil. Whatever you are planning, you will not need to change your choice to fit the service.

Wooden Coffin Price

Our Natural Wooden Eco Coffin is priced at £500 in both Medium and Large sizes. For a handmade, solid-wood coffin, that compares well with the wider market, where traditional wooden coffins often cost considerably more once fittings and finishes are added.

What is included in the price:

• Solid wood frame and base — no metal or plastic anywhere.
• Natural cotton lining and a smoothly polished wood finish.
• A wooden nameplate, and opaque wood privacy screens on the Large size.

The same fair price applies to both sizes, and you can spread the cost with Klarna at checkout. If a lower price point matters most, our natural wicker coffins start from £325, and our woven coffins offer another handmade natural option.

Strong, Dependable and Naturally Beautiful

Wood has been the material of farewell for centuries, and that familiarity brings comfort. A wooden eco coffin looks entirely at home in a church, crematorium or graveside service; nobody attending would think it unconventional.

At the same time, it is strong and environmentally responsible. Each coffin is built from solid wood and weight-tested to 190kg, so pallbearers and funeral teams can proceed with complete confidence. For families who want a greener choice without stepping away from tradition, a wooden eco coffin is often the natural middle ground: everything expected of a classic coffin, with none of the hidden plastic or metal.

How to Choose the Right Wooden Coffin

With one beautifully finished design in two sizes, choosing is straightforward. The Medium suits most adults, while the Large offers more room where it is needed and adds opaque wood privacy screens. Both share the same sustainably sourced solid wood, polished finish, cotton lining and biodegradable construction, so the decision usually comes down to size.

If budget is your main consideration, our wicker and woven collections offer handmade natural coffins at a lower price, while the wooden coffin remains the choice for families who want the classic look of solid timber.

Why Families in the UK Choose Eco Wooden Coffins

Some families simply want the reassurance of a design everyone recognises. Others have thought carefully about the environmental cost of a traditional coffin and want a kinder alternative. A wooden eco coffin honours both instincts at once: a familiar farewell that also reflects a life lived with care for the world around it.

As green funerals grow across the UK, wooden eco coffins are increasingly the choice of families who want sustainability without the ceremony feeling any different. Every review of our Natural Wooden Eco Coffin is currently five stars; you can read what families have said on our reviews page.
