on the day, a celebration of a life lived." Charles

One of our Eco coffins has recently been used in a pop video for Robbie Williams. The video is just one of a number of videos which form part of a competition.

Eco Coffins in Spain
You may not know that our logo is based in a famous set of steps in Pollensa in Mallorca.

We recently featured in a Spanish magazine called Emprendadores where they explored the background
of the business.

 

Extreme Pilgrim

ECL Director Reverend Peter Owen Jones' TV programme was a fascinating investigation into the meaning of spirituality. It was a hugely enjoyable and popular series. Well done Pete. Pete is now off filing his next even bigger series.

Background

Eco Coffins Ltd® was set up in 2004 by Ben and Sophie Dansie and the Reverend Peter Owen Jones.

Committed to the environment, passionate about design and wanting to bring choice
to a market where tradition has reigned for over 100 years the founders were keen to provide people with a product that is personal, is environmentally-friendly but doesn't take any of the dignity out of saying goodbye.

The feedback has been overwhelming. The company has received phone calls and emails from across the globe. It appears that there a great many people out there looking for something that offers more of a connection for them. Some people simply think there should be a little bit of light in a funeral; some think it should be fun.

All funerals are different. Everybody should be able to put their own mark on the farewell.

The company and its coffins have received considerable press coverage. We will shortly publish more of the articles that have been written here:

- Funeral Service Times
- Cambridge Evening News - Brightening Up That Final Journey
- BBC Cambridgeshire Radio

Blogs we feature in:
