“I am emailing to say a big ‘thank you’ to Musgroves for welcoming our family group to be involved with weaving dad’s coffin. It meant a huge amount and symbolised the start of the journey to celebrate and let go of our father. Our last journey with him. The coffin itself was beautiful and perfect for dad. It felt so good to have been connected to creating this natural and encompassing place for him. Thank you again for accommodating our large family group and allowing us all to be together during the weaving. This was very much appreciated. We have recently returned from Scotland where we took dad on his last little tour of his homeland and scattered his ashes in his favourite Glen.”
“Thank you everyone at Musgrove Willows for helping me weave mothers coffin. She always loved coming up to see you and will no doubt be resting in peace for her final journey in such a beautiful woven creation xx”
“Dear Vicki, Ellen, Rob and all the team at Musgrove Willows, I am writing to say thank you very much firstly for the wonderful coffin that you provided for my mum Sylvia recently. It was the most fitting final resting place for mum and it looked so beautiful during the service. Everyone commented on how magnificent it was and I want to also express my gratitude for the way you allowed me into your world when I came to visit. My heart is very much Somerset born and bred and since briefly working in the area I have developed a much more intimate love of my home county. To know her coffin was crafted by such skilled and careful hands, of material grown out of our earth is a special feeling. Thank you all so very much from me, mums family and friends, you helped make it such a wonderful celebration that we are all very grateful for. I wish you all the best.”
“This was our first order from your company and I would like to thank you for the amazing service I have received. Please pass on my thanks to all your team, this is one of the most stunning baby baskets we have ever had. “
“Thank you for making time for us, especially when it was so unannounced. I learned so much and was very struck by what a beautiful and natural process is involved in your work. And I’d not realised the scale of your willow growing before – this was amazing to see. “
“Just a note to say how pleased I was with the coffin you provided for my husband. Being a farmer he would have appreciated it – so beautifully made and a work of art. Thank you to the craftsperson who constructed it.”
“Thanks so much to you and the team for helping to make a very sad time that bit more bearable. Steve looked after us so well and we all really appreciated our time with you. Thanks again for all your support. Mum’s coffin looked absolutely beautiful. “
“What an amazing craft & we enjoyed every minute. I think I only got tearful twice. Going the extra mile to add those coloured willow reeds on the lid for each family member & the stars you made for the siblings was really touching & treasured by all. Thank you so much for making this a memorable experience. I’d recommend it. Best wishes to all your talented team. “
“We wanted to write to you to say thank you to the weaver who created the beautiful casket for my brother’s funeral which was held on Monday this week. “
“Mum would have been incredibly proud of the day, I know she would have absolutely loved your rainbow casket! Thank you so much for pulling out the stops and stepping outside the normal boundaries, to make this happen for us. We are exceptionally grateful. “
“I just wanted to thank you all at Musgrove Willows for making it possible for myself and my two daughters to help weave my husband’s coffin. Please pass on our sincere thanks to Sarhan who helped and guided us in the process. He has such a spiritual and gentle presence and has left us with very fond memories of the experience. With best wishes “
“I just wanted to say a very BIG Thank you for all your hard work and quickly getting the Southlake coffin ready for us – it is perfect… We really appreciate your help with this last minute job. Best wishes “
“Cradle received and is beautiful. The touches with the calico and feather square and flower for a keepsake make it extra special. Thank you for your professional and timely service. We will definitely order from you in the future. “
“I just wanted to thank you for my husband’s beautiful boat you made for his funeral. Having something so personal to him made such a difference to us all as a family. I can’t thank you enough, it looked beautiful in the church and I had so many people say how he would have loved it. That’s not something you expect to hear at a funeral.”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the team at Musgrove for the great job on my Mum’s coffin. Mum would have loved the coffin and also the fact that you nick named it the flump would have made her smile. Thanks once again, it means so much to us, we are truly grateful. “
“We had Mum’s Thanksgiving Service last Friday, which all went really well. The coffin looked lovely – beautifully crafted – and so fitting for Mum. Many thanks again.”
“A massive thanks to all at Musgrove Willows – they have been absolute stars. They have made it easy to order coffins and delivery is fast – In the funeral business we have all been working to our limits and it’s good to know we as Funeral Directors can rely on businesses we work closely with to provide a swift and very professional service. Thanks once again to all the team at Musgrove Willows. “
“I know my Mum would have been proud of the choice and also appreciate the quality of the workmanship. Being a local product is also much appreciated. I wish you all good health and may your business continue to thrive for many years to come. With thanks. “
“I just wanted to say how delighted we were with my mother’s coffin. I contacted you on the suggestion of Christophers’ Funerals in Newton Abbot, back in early August. My mother’s funeral was on August 11th and she had died on July 31st so there wasn’t a lot of time from when we ordered it and it was delivered. Thank you so much for working so quickly to get it done in time. The end result was perfect and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Your staff were most helpful and it seems so easy to make the necessary decisions. Your excellent website made things very clear. Huge thanks again. “
“Thank you so much for the three beautiful fish you made me with the willow used for my Dad’s coffin. He loved the sea, and was an international swimmer, so fish seemed the obvious choice. I don’t think you will ever realise just how grateful I am. A beautiful way to remember my amazing Dad. Thank you.”
“I just wanted to pass my thanks on to all whom were involved in making my late husband’s bespoke coffin. You may remember the claret and blue West Ham colours with the wooden logo. It was so beautiful – he would have loved it. I had so many comments from guests at his Celebration of Life service commenting on how wonderful his coffin was. I cannot really put into words the comfort you have given me by being able to offer the service you do. I was really able to express my love for him by having this made. Warmest wishes”
“Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in making my Mum’s coffin yesterday. It was a wonderful experience for me. A very big thank you to Steve for the way he explained everything & involved me, he made it very interesting explaining how the willow is grown & all aspects and uses of the different types of willow. It will be a memory I will treasure. “
“Obviously the outside always looks amazing but really, really impressed by the interior. It looks great and I think the family would approve too. I don’t really say it often enough because I just come to expect it from you guys but the coffin really is lovely. “
“Just wanted to say a huge thanks for the GORGEOUS coffin that arrived today. Most importantly the family are delighted with it. Our poor families are having to design funerals around very strict restrictions at the moment, and therefore the meaning of being allowed to do something like this is magnified. You are gorgeous people, wonderful craftspeople and we are very proud to work with you. “
“I just wanted to drop your business a quick note to say a HUGE thank you. We said our final goodbyes to my 90yr old father this morning and your coffin was just beautiful and exactly, if not better than I had hoped. Please thank the weaver who made his coffin, their/and all your staff care and attention helped to make today more bearable. Thank you.”
“I just wanted to email you and thank you for the beautiful willow casket that my Mum was laid to rest in. My Mum has lived her whole life in Watchet and it seemed very special to be able to have something with such a local connection. We had many comments yesterday on how beautiful and unusual the casket was. One always dreads looking at a coffin, but seeing something more natural and that had been personalised seemed easier to cope with. So, Thank you for helping us say goodbye in a style and manner my mum had wished for. “
“I am writing on behalf of all of us who visited you on Wednesday to take part in the creation of mum’s coffin. Thank you so much for being so accommodating and flexible. It was an amazing process and we all felt pleased to have been part of it. I am sure it will make the funeral feel slightly easier too.”
“Thank you so much for the day we spent with you helping to make Alec’s coffin. It meant a lot to all of us and you made us feel very welcome.”
“Thank you all so much for the really beautiful coffin and basket that you made for my father’s funeral. I know that he would have loved it. Many thanks again.”
“I’m so delighted with the quality of the white willow oval coffin I purchased from Musgrove Willows. The family were absolutely delighted. Please thank your team for doing such a good job and please, please don’t stop!”
“The family are full of praise for Musgrove Willows, explaining that the experience was very therapeutic and rewarding. They say that the staff at MW were incredibly kind and welcoming – and even took it upon themselves to entertain the youngest members of the party with crayons and paper. Meanwhile Elaine’s partner and children each wove a substantial part of the coffin which they all found very fulfilling. They were also very moved about being given willow mementoes to take home on their departure. Musgrove Willows clearly shares the ethos of TCF and a visit to their willow farm in Westonzoyland is something we can very definitely recommend.”
“Just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for getting the coffin to me so quickly….especially with Christmas and New Year potentially hampering things. Yet again I am really pleased with not just the service but also the coffin. So much so that I will now only advertise your coffins and will happily recommend them to my clients. Thanks so much again.”
“My order has just this very minute arrived – and I am absolutely delighted. It is not only beautiful but has a comforting air which touches my heart with a smile. Thank you so very much for managing to get all my words on the plaque – you have brought a big lump of happiness to me – thank you.”
“I would have been lost without you”
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the help and support that you gave to G. E. O’Driscoll &Daughters Funeral Director with the production of a stunning rainbow willow coffin. Having spoken to Gemma she has spoken most highly of you all and how you made this beautiful coffin at break neck speed. Both his Mum and myself would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make the celebration of Darren’s life special for everyone. “
“My brother and sister and the rest of our family would like to say a big thank you for treating us so well at Musgrove Willows and giving us the opportunity to weave our mother’s casket. It was remarkably cathartic and when we saw the casket on Wednesday for the funeral it was strangely like seeing an old friend. It sounds strange but we were actually looking forward to seeing it completed as there was a certain pride in having done it, but most importantly our mum would have loved it. The ceremony was truly beautiful being held amongst giant redwoods on an estate in Sussex. I realise that the day was challenging for you given the lack of staff and you had to rally round but honestly we could not have felt more welcome. Thank you once again. “
“Thank you for the kindness and support you have shown us, our family at this difficult time. It was a pleasure to come and meet you all and we were so pleased with the casket.”
“Ellen and her team at Musgrove Willows have provided our family business with quality coffins for over 5 years. Great service, fantastic choice and great personal attention to detail.”

“As a family we cannot thank you enough for all the care and patience that was shown to us. Taking part in the making of mum’s casket was very special.”
“I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to yourself and your weavers who had a part in making the willow casket and indeed the whole process. I found your sensitivity, your help and understanding and your service exceptional. You made a difficult time just that bit easier to cope with.”
“I can’t thank you and your team enough for providing such a warm, personal and professional service. We are so happy to have found you and you have made the whole experience so easy and fulfilling. I know my brother and sister loved helping to make the coffin and give particular thanks to their willow maker, who guided them so well throughout the session. We take great comfort knowing that our Dad will be resting in such a beautifully made bed.”
“I had to put pen to paper to thank you for making that beautiful casket. It was truly magnificent and was admired by family and friends.”

“Thank you so much for all your help and support regarding Mum and Dad and their coffins. Both coffins were beautiful and it was a privilege to be able to carry them.”
“Just to say thank you so much for allowing us to help weave John’s coffin. It was a very emotional, but healing thing to do.”
