Our coffins

A traditional wood finish, or something more personal.

There are currently three Lifelia ranges. Every coffin is made in Leicestershire and FFMA accredited, and your funeral director can show you the finishes.

How they’re made

It looks like wood. The grain is printed.

The woodgrain on a Lifelia coffin is printed directly onto a responsibly sourced wood-fibre board, with no vinyl wrap and no plastic laminate.

The finish you see is the coffin itself, with no film on top. It looks and feels familiar. It’s lightweight, yet it feels substantial, and each one is made in Leicestershire.

  • “It’s incredibly lightweight yet feels so substantial.”

What it’s made of

Sustainability is about the whole coffin, not a label.

  1. The board

    Every Lifelia coffin is made from a responsibly sourced wood-fibre board. It’s lightweight, yet it feels substantial.

  2. The print

    The finish is printed directly onto the board, whether it’s an oak grain, soft botanical colour or a scatter of dots.

  3. The details

    We think about the inks, the handles and the fittings too, because they’re part of the coffin as well.

FFMA, the Funeral Furnishing Manufacturers’ Association

Independently tested

Every Lifelia coffin is FFMA accredited.

A coffin needs to do much more than look right. It has to be carried, transported and handled, and stay strong throughout.

The Funeral Furnishing Manufacturers’ Association runs an accreditation scheme that tests coffins for the job they have to do. Every Lifelia coffin has been independently assessed against it, and carries the accreditation mark underneath.

A coffin may look right. But has it been tested?
