Wikkelgoed makes a denim shroud

Due to a special request, Wikkelgoed has made a denim shroud. An old man came to us who had worn denim every day his entire life. He wondered if it was possible to have a shroud made from his beloved fabric, in honor of his clothing tradition. We immediately got to work for him, after which we were so pleased with the result that we included the shroud in our permanent range.

Denim fabric

The sturdy dark blue Denim shroud has a tough, special look. The colour is much lighter on the inside, which gives a nice effect when it is opened. The characteristic fabric also gives a nice emphasis to the folds you make in the shrouding process. The light and dark blue colour match nicely with the rustic Willow carrier and our Hemp shroud strap wide, creating a beautiful solid look.

A shroud instead of a coffin

A shroud can be used in combination with a coffin, but in combination with a carrier it can also completely replace the coffin. Shrouding a body is a simple ritual that can be easily performed by the relatives. This is often experienced as a cherished ritual. A select group of loved ones covers the deceased, step by step. In this way, both the body and the relatives themselves are prepared for the final farewell. If the shroud is used instead of a coffin, a carrier (for example made of willow twigs: the Willow carrier) is required. Sometimes, an additional Cremation input board is required at crematoria, because a flat bottom and upright edge is necessary for the machine to work. You can purchase these in our webshop.
