At Ecoffins, we are proud to be the originators of the eco-coffin movement in the UK. From the very beginning, our mission has been to offer families a meaningful, sustainable choice — helping people say goodbye in a way that cares for the planet as much as it does for loved ones.
Every coffin and urn we make is entirely natural, biodegradable and free from plastics, metals, nails or staples. We carefully select materials that are renewable and responsibly harvested, minimising impact on forests, fields, and oceans.
Our products are made to the highest possible standards of quality and ethical production. We have been supplying World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO)accredited products for over 15 years.
Many of our coffins and urns are made in the UK, when we do manufacture overseas, we partner exclusively with carefully monitored workshops that operate under Fair Trade principles and are dedicated to safeguarding both the local communities and surrounding environments.
We believe sustainability should support people as well as the planet, we are the only UK eco-coffin company to supply coffins accredited by the WFTO.
Being truly eco-friendly means considering the bigger picture. That’s why our shipping footprint is as light as possible — our coffins are designed to nest neatly inside each other, so we can ship more using less fuel. Transporting one coffin from the Far East to the UK uses just one-tenth of a gallon of fuel — the same amount an average car uses in under five miles.
We also continue to innovate to lower our impact. In the last few year we've created coffins even more eco-friendly, using less imported materials, that we can ship in greater numbers making them 30% more eco-friendly per coffin.
Caring for the environment is at the heart of everything we do — including where we work. Our purpose-built facility is designed to minimise our impact on the planet, with 159 solar panels for all our electricity needs including powering our electric vehicles, aground source heat pump, and an air exchange system that keeps our energy use as efficient as possible.
Surrounding our building, we’ve planted the area with over 1000 indigenous trees and wildflowers to create a safe haven for local wildlife — helping nature thrive alongside us.
Being the originators of the eco-coffin movement, we see it as our responsibility to lead by example. From ourvery first day, Ecoffins has been dedicated to doing things the right way — and the greenest way. We produce only eco-friendly products and continually look for new ways to reduce our environmental impact.
We continue to innovate, ensuring that every step we take is as kind to the earth as possible—from design and production to packaging and transportation. We
promise to keep leading by example, our mission is simple: to help families honour their loved ones with dignity and respect, while caring for the natural world they leave behind.
