6 reasons you'll love this Burial Shroud:
1. Easy To Use
Our Burial Shrouds have six durable cotton-webbed handles with a strong, reinforced canvas sleeve underneath to hold a wooden plank, providing full-body support. A three-step instruction sheet is also included for easy, stress-free transport.
2. Exquisite, Sustainable Fibres
Woven in our studio in a striking variation of a herringbone twill weave, this cloth is made from organic cotton naturally grown in a range of soft colours, as it was once long ago. When the yarn is available, two different coloured fabrics are woven, creating a two-toned natural shroud.
3. Fully Biodegradable
Accented with natural linen trim and ties, and sewn with cotton thread, even the smallest details of our Burial Shrouds are 100% biodegradable.
4. Zero Waste, Zero Chemicals
We embrace earth-friendly design practices in the design and construction of our burial shrouds. No material is wasted and our fabrics are free from artificial dyes.
5.Handcrafted with Care
Each burial shroud is lovingly made at our Nova Scotia-based LaHave Weaving Studio by Lesley Armstrong, a master weaver with over 50 years of experience.
Custom sizing, colours and patterns are available by emailing lesley@lahaveweavingstudio.com
6. Lavender sachet
Each of our Natural Burial Shrouds includes a complementary sachet filled with pure, dried Nova Scotia lavender buds. Encased in a fully biodegradable silk organza pouch, this aromatic sachet provides a sweet, woodsy scent.
