‘Burial blankets’ are beautifully woven shrouds to wrap and accompany a body in burial or cremation. They are woven in love and honour as companions of softness and beauty, cocooning the body as it returns to Earth once more. They are each a woven gratitude for the embodied cycle of Life lived. 

These blankets carry hand-spun intentions within warp and weft. They are simple yet beautiful, and dyed with plants who offer medicine to this time of traversing. 

Every fibre and thread of the woven ‘Burial Blanket’ can safely return to the soil of Earth, making an offering and gift of nutrients as they compost down. They are perfect for a more ‘Ecological/ Green Burial’ working well with willow coffins.

My prayer is that every body may receive the woven love and honour of a burial blanket when their life cycle completes, and this prayer is spun in to every yarn in every shroud. I have a fund which can be donated to so that I may weave burial blankets for anyone who does not have the financial means of exchange. Please reach out if you or someone you know may like to either receive a burial blanket this way or donate to the fund. May all life be remembered as Sacred.

Burial blankets can be woven with me as part of ones own sacred dying process, or as a way to meet what arises as a loved one is passing. Together, held by the Loom, we can explore what wants to be acknowledged through warp and weft. Please reach out via the contact page if this is something you are interested in.

I also create clay ‘Burial pots’ these are created with the intention to carry the prayers of the friends and family with the soul who journeys on. These prayers can be written and placed inside the pot, they can be whispered in or sung in and then buried alongside the body or placed in the Earth or Ocean to travel on.
