I am honoured to receive a Winner Award from the Association of Green Funerals Directors (AGFD) for Best Coffin Supplier of the Year.
For me, this is not just personal- it is a validation of burial shrouds as meaningful, environmentally friendly ans spiritually rich alternatives to coffins. I came to to shroud making ans soft cloth covers combined with willow stretchers (so sort of coffins) after many years as a fine artists and lecturer, bringing with me a love of stroy-telling through reclaimed materials, ritual and beauty. I am blown away by the sense of purpose this practice has given me. This award feels like a step forward not only for me , but for all shroud makers, here in the UK and worldwide who are keeping this practice alive.
