Shrouds can be laid on a willow carrier or wooden board, placed inside a simple coffin or used as a drape. Some are kept afterwards as memory cloths. When rested on a willow stretcher, the body appears gently cradled, echoing a return to something natural and held.

Each shroud is made from pre-loved or sustainably sourced natural textiles, often embellished with eco-friendly techniques. Every one is unique, reflecting the life it honours. You may choose a completed design or work with me to create something personal using meaningful fabrics or quiet stitching as an act of love.
