MENDIP
The Mendip is a curved end willow coffin woven from our highest quality buff and steamed willow. It is named after the Mendip Hills which run between Weston-super-Mare and Frome. Part of the hills has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The main body of the Mendip is woven with buff willow. Dark brown steamed willow is used for the banding and the plait border on the lid edge. The plait, handles and/or bands can be woven in buff, steamed, antique buff or white willow. Hand dyed coloured willow can also be incorporated into a design.
If you prefer this coffin in a traditional shape, please see our Blackdown.
