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.
