TRADITIONAL WOOD
Traditional coffins are always popular and are available in either veneer or solid wood. Veneered coffins are approved for both cremation and burials and solid wood coffins for burial purposes.
Panels, raised lids and mouldings can be applied to all wooden coffins making them more individual.
Coffins Choices
CARDBOARD / CONTEMPORARY
At Gowards Funeral Services we are able to offer a wide range of coffin choices for both burial, green burial and cremation purposes.
Only a very small selection is shown on this page and we would welcome any enquiries regarding the availability of your coffin choice.
ECOLOGICAL
Natural material coffins are becoming increasingly popular - wicker, willow, seagrass or wool are just a few options available.
They can all be used for burial purposes but there are some restrictions on their use for cremation.
If you are considering one of these please check the options with us.
A vast catalogue of colours, patterns or pictures is available for both wooden or cardboard coffins.
The coffins are wrapped in a biodegradable material which makes them suitable for both burial or cremation and some green burial sites.
And for those
that like
something with a
bit of sparkle
we can offer
Glitter Coffins
BESPOKE DESIGNS
There is something very satisfying in talking to a family about their loved ones life and then designing a bespoke coffin that reflects that persons career, lifestyle or hobbies. The coffin is as unique as they are.

Your unique design can be also be used for the Order of Service or reproduced onto a casket for cremated remains.
