Hainsworth PR Statement

A W Hainsworth & Sons Ltd, a 225 year old family run and owned Yorkshire based woollen mill, have launched an innovative new product – which uses all that is great about British Wool.

Hainsworth have a range of environmentally friendly woollen coffins and caskets that offer a comforting and soft alternative to the traditional wood coffin.  Working closely with the British Wool Marketing Board, Hainsworth supports British Farmers by buying their wool through the Quality Assurance Scheme.

Rachel Hainsworth says “We are very proud to be supporting British Wool, it is at the forefront of our continuing success.  We are passionate about the quality of our product and as we use 3 special fine Down type fleeces per coffin, we hope this increased demand will filter down to stronger prices being paid to the farmer”.
