English Willow Urns for Natural Burial of Ashes
Discover the elegance and sustainability of our English Willow Urns, handcrafted in the picturesque Somerset Levels by skilled artisans. These urns offer a natural and environmentally friendly option for commemorating your loved ones, beautifully woven into traditional designs that resonate with the tranquility of the English countryside.
Each urn is meticulously handmade to order, using willow harvested from farmland that has been in the artisan's family for four generations. Willow is celebrated for its strength, flexibility, and beauty, making it an ideal material for crafting durable yet aesthetically pleasing urns. You can choose from the natural buff willow or a white-banded design, enhanced with environmentally friendly dyes to create vibrant rainbow patterns or bold colour blocks.
Somerset Willow is a highly sustainable crop, cultivated in a way that allows for continual regeneration from the same crown for up to 40 years. This sustainable practice ensures that your choice of a cremation urn has a minimal environmental footprint.
Each urn comes with a soft cotton bag to securely hold the ashes, ensuring they are preserved until the burial.
The use of English Willow in crafting is steeped in local tradition, evoking quintessential images of the English landscape - from literary scenes along riverbanks to the iconic sounds of cricket, "the thwack of leather on willow", throughout an English summer.
Designed specifically for burial, these urns are completely biodegradable. They decompose naturally once buried, gently reintegrating the ashes back into the earth and continuing the cycle of life.
For those seeking a natural burial, our English Willow Urns provide a touching and sustainable way to honour the memory of your loved ones.
