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.

Some of the key principles of natural burials include no embalming, direct site burial where the shroud or sustainable coffin is put directly into the ground, land restoration and conservation, and simple memorialization. 

We are proud to use only the finest quality, all-natural biodegradable fibres (wool, cotton/linen, linen, etc.), right down to the cotton sewing thread, making our shrouds a perfect choice for green burials. 

Laws concerning transportation of the deceased, burial on one’s own land or the designation of green burial sites may vary from one province to province or state to state.
