Choosing a coffin
This brochure provides details on our
range of caskets and coffins, and a
selection of the cremated remains urns
and keepsakes available. Please refer to
our price lists for current charges.
All our coffins and caskets, with the
exception of some American caskets,
are suitable for either burial or
cremation. Where not specified, we will
substitute suitable cremation fittings at
no additional charge.
Churc hyards, as w ell as many
cemeteries and crematoria will not
accept American style caskets.
Our coffins are made from a variety of
selected woods, veneers and other
materials. We have chosen our suppliers
with care, to ensure, as best we can,
minimal environmental impact and
maximum sustainability.
Notes:
Welham Jones reserves the right to change the
speci fication of its products, and its chosen suppliers
without notice.
All woods and veneers us ed are from selected timbers
grown in renewabl e forests. Other materials are derived
from woods grown in renewable fo rests and are
manu factu red with no formaldehyd e content.
English willow is grown on the Somerset Levels part o f
the Somerset wetlands, and harvested only during six
weeks each spring.
Chinese bamboo used is cultivated in small dispersed
plots within plantations licensed by the Chinese
Government in areas not populated by pandas.
All our solid wood coffins and caskets are hand made to
order. Solid wood coffins are constru cted with butt ends
and solid wood bottoms.

Personal choices
Personal items, a photograph,
flower or other keepsake can be
placed in the coffin, although we
will advise which, due to their
material and local crematorium
regulations, will have to be
removed before cremation.
Nameplates are fitted to all
coffins by law. Symbolic furniture
is available to support a wide
r a n g e o f r e lig io n s a n d
associations.
Scottish cords and tassels
available, as are the Union,
national flags. Service (civil
military) and regimental flags
be obtained where requested.
Looking after the cremated
remains. If you are undecided
what should be done with the
cremated remains, we will return
them to our offices a few days
after the service, and retain them
for you whilst you decide. We
always ask the crematorium to
supply a new plastic or cardboard
urn, one that is durable and easily
transportable.

You might think about interring
the remains, perhaps in the garden

crematorium or, in a churchyard.
You might consider scattering
them at a favourite beauty spot, at
sea or in a river, in which case
please see www.environmentagency.gov.uk or ask us for
advice. Alternatively you might
consider sending them skyward in
fireworks, having them made into
a synthetic gemstone: or maybe a
memorial urn or keepsake is more
appropriate.

which family mementoes or items of sentimental value can also
