Shrouds
A shroud is a rectangular cloth that is used to shroud the body. In line with our vision of natural farewell, all our shrouds are made of natural materials. Our shrouds, also called burial shrouds, are made of soft and breathable fabrics such as organic cotton, hemp, linen and silk. We also offer several shrouds made of Dutch wool. Our designs are simplistic, so that the shroud can be decorated by the relatives with embroidery or meaningful texts.
Carriers
To use a shroud as an alternative to a coffin, a carrier (also known as a stretcher or bier) is required. All our carriers are made of natural materials.
Accessories
In addition to the shrouds and carriers, we also offer soft mattresses, shroud straps, cushions and other supplies.
Wikkelgoed and sustainable alternatives
Natural burial
With natural burial, the body is buried in a special natural burial site, without a gravestone or maintenance. Almost all of our products are fully biodegradable and therefore suitable for natural burial.
Composting
Human composting is a new, ecologically circular form of funeral service, where the body is placed in a cocoon that transforms it into fertile soil. We develop beautiful and natural products that are suited for this process.
Resomation
Resomation involves dissolving the body in a warm water solution. This environmentally friendly alternative to cremation is gentle and sustainable. We have developed special products for this new funeral process.
We had a beautiful service, completely in the spirit of my mother. Her Willow shell was filled with small gifts. The best feedback I can give are the the comments of the family members and friends present. Many of them said that they have gained a whole new insight into how a funeral service can be held, and how natural and soft a shroud and willow shell come across.
Annelies
Surviving relative
The funeral of our grandfather could not have been more beautiful... He was lying in a hemp shroud with hemp shroud straps, which was surprisingly beautiful in its simplicity. He was placed in a Willow shell, on a bed of leaves and surrounded by flowers. A funeral can be so 'light' and loving. I found the shrouding ritual itself sobering and helped me to face death.
Meike
Surviving relative
Caring for the body, and shrouding it with all the female family members allowed us to experience beautiful, loving moments of farewell. The deceased had indicated this as a wish, but at first the family found the idea a bit strange. Afterwards, however, they were very happy and proud that they had done it.
