A Contemporary Take on a Very Old Tradition.

For thousands of years humans have prepared their dead and lay them to rest in burial shrouds. The burial shroud is not unique to any one religion, ethnicity, or continent.

This shroud is made with 100% biodegradable natural cotton fabric, batting, and thread. It has convenient handles, tie straps for closure, and a pocket for a wooden slat (not included) to insert along the spine. These features make transport and handling of the shrouded body a little easier in the contemporary natural burial cemetery.  

Our burial shrouds have been used by families of many faiths including Christian, Orthodox, Muslim, and Bahai in burial in traditional and natural burial cemeteries as well as cremation.
