Mourning Cloak Shrouds
Our sister company, Mourning Cloak Shrouds provides our hand made shrouds.
Shrouds are our most ancient form of burial. The body was wrapped in a natural fibre cloth such as linen, wool, silk, hemp or cotton. Many people today still choose this option for themselves or their loved ones.
Our hand-made shrouds are an economical and environmentally friendly choice and echo this time-honoured tradition for burial or cremation. Two styles to choose from, the Mourning Cloak and The Simple Shroud
The Mourning Cloak
This shroud is made from unbleached cotton with jute handles for a beautifully natural and simple alternative to a coffin.
The Mourning Cloak is well suited for direct to ground green burial with its sturdy double stitched construction, canvas backing with sewn-in pocket for back support board*. The jute webbing makes six comfortable carry handles as well as making this shroud a safe and secure way to convey your loved one. Tested to 260 pounds.

Six lowering straps come with each Mourning Cloak. They are 18 feet long and are used for lowering into the grave site. Each strap is threaded through each of the carrying handles on the shroud
We deliver both our shrouds in a dual-purpose box that isn't just for shipping - it provides a convenient, dust-free storage solution so the shroud stays pristine and protected until needed.
