Testimonials

I had never seen a woollen coffin before. Our mam expressed a wish for one through Hainsworth via the funeral director. The hearse arrived and our mam was in this beautiful cosy beige coffin that to me looked like a keepsake box. This gave me and my family great comfort. Many friends and relatives have since told us how lovely, nice and different it was. The funeral director also said not only was it good to look at; it ticked all the boxes for them especially as it is Eco friendly.

With thanks from Mrs. C Hardisty and family.

I discovered the Natural Legacy by Hainsworth woollen coffin range at the Birmingham trade show and knew instantly they would be very well received. The coffins are finished to high standards, are extremely tactile and have a clean, fresh appearance.

At The Fantastic Funeral Company we work with people prior to death so most people choose their own coffins. Recently a client requested something with a ‘wow factor’, not dark in colour, had to be biodegradable and a coffin that would be remembered.  I knew when I showed her the Hainsworth catalogue I could meet her specifications; she chose a beautiful cream Hainsworth coffin.

I will continue to use the woollen coffins as the company offers new and creative approaches to a traditional trade. Its products are innovative and most importantly, meeting our clients changing requests. For example, extra thought that has gone into the embroidered name plate adds something personal and intimate. It’s what matters and it’s what’s remembered.

Having first seen the Swaledale woollen coffin at Hainsworth Mill on the afternoon of Sunday April 26th I was immediately impressed with what I saw.

During the coming week I was to arrange a funeral of a seventeen year old girl and my thoughts went straight to what I had seen the previous Sunday. It took just one phone call to Rachel Hainsworth to enquire if one could be made available straight away, back came the reply no problem.

I showed my family the brochure and they immediately felt that this would be perfect for their daughter.  I was delighted with the woollen coffin as were my family when they came to the funeral home.

The Church was packed with over five hundred people seeing for the first time the Swaledale and I have had excellent feed back from many people who saw and took notice that we had some thing different. I will certainly be looking at this coffin as an alternative in the future and I am convinced that it certainly has a place in the future of the changing times ahead within our profession.

I wish Rachel, Adam and Julian every success.
