In 2024, BBC Morning Live invited me and my business partner, Mel Bastier. We run Lily Willow Coffins, a sister company. The show focused on natural burials and sustainable options. They wanted to feature willow coffins in their segment.
I demonstrated how to weave a willow coffin on the show. Wayne Perrey, a presenter, also tried weaving during the filming. It was a fun and hands-on experience. We explained the craft and the process behind willow coffin making.
Making a willow coffin is an important and honourable task. Each coffin holds deep meaning for the families involved. Many who have woven coffins with us add personal mementos. These tokens make the coffins truly unique and special.
The segment highlighted the beauty and sustainability of willow coffins. It showed why natural burials are an important choice today. We were proud to share our skills on a major BBC platform. This gave us a chance to reach a wide audience.
We believe natural burials respect the environment. Willow coffins break down naturally and cause no harm. They offer a meaningful, handmade alternative to traditional coffins. Our work connects ancient craft with modern eco-conscious values.
Being part of BBC Morning Live was a real honour. It allowed us to raise awareness about sustainable burial options. Many viewers contacted us after the programme. They showed interest in willow coffins and natural burial choices.
We hope this exposure helps more people learn about green funerals. Sharing our craft means sharing a part of our passion. We enjoy teaching and promoting willow weaving wherever we can.
