For families

Choosing a Lifelia coffin

If you’re considering a more sustainable funeral, ask your funeral director about the current Lifelia range.

They can show you the finishes, let you see a sample up close, and answer your questions.

Planning ahead

Choosing your own coffin in advance

Some people like to choose their own coffin in advance.

If that’s you, ask a funeral director about the current Lifelia range, or mention it in the wishes you share with your family.

Common questions

Good to know

Does it look like a cardboard coffin?

The finish is printed directly onto a responsibly sourced wood-fibre board, so a Forest Spirit coffin has the familiar look of oak or mahogany. At the National Funeral Exhibition, one visitor told us: “I genuinely thought this was a traditional coffin.”

Is a Lifelia coffin accredited?

Yes. Every Lifelia coffin is FFMA accredited: independently tested by the Funeral Furnishing Manufacturers’ Association. The accreditation mark is underneath the coffin. Why testing matters.

Which handles are available?

Traditional-style, wooden or natural rope. Your funeral director can talk you through the handle and fixture options for the design you choose.

Can I buy a Lifelia coffin from you directly?

Families choose a Lifelia coffin through their funeral director, so they are the best first call. We’re still glad to answer any questions.

Where are Lifelia coffins made?

In Leicestershire. How they’re made.
