Wool coffins are so hot right now. The Woolly Coffin,  an amalgamation of wool, cotton, and cardboard, was recently on display at Prince Charles’ Garden Party to Make a Difference. The event is a week long festival to promote green living (and dying).  Not only are these coffins easier on the environment than commonly used “sealer caskets”, they also, if widely used, will stimulate the faltering British textile industry. This is what is known as a Two-fer.

This is a brilliant design by Constance Guisset
