a fabulous idea!!
In 2002, the National Science Museum
exhibited Greenfield Creations coffins
alongside other death related objects
from their historical collections. William
said: “The purpose of the event
was to demonstrate changing
attitudes to death and how people
were now seeking self expression
in the manner of death and choice
of funeral.”
The company was also honoured in 2004,
when they were invited to exhibit their
coffin at the Design Museum in London
as part of the Conran Foundations Collection of ‘ingenious inventions’. William
said that it was important that they, as
in any industry, gave the customer what
they wanted. He said: “People wishing to really personalise a funeral is a growing trend so our range
of coffins and bespoke design
service needs to take into account
that people want variety of choice.
“With 20 years of manufacturing
under our belts we feel that we
have ‘made a difference’.”
Greenfield Creations was the first company in the UK to manufacture bespoke
cardboard picture coffins. Their product
was marketed as the ‘Greenfield Coffin’
when it was first sold, as this was the
name of the company at the time. But, in
the last few years, William changed the
name to ‘Greenfield Creations’.
He said: “I felt it better reflected
our complete company range of
products. We offer an ‘alternative’
to consumers, without compromising on style or design. This
gives customers more choice
than ever before.”
All Greenfield Creations coffins are
made to the highest standards, complying with the low emissions levels set by
the Government’s Environmental Act
and have been tested by the federation
of British Cremation Authorities. All
the coffins are manufactured from corrugated cardboard, and made from at
least 70% post consumer waste sourced
from local mills. Greenfield Creations’
material supplier purchases any new
fibre or wood pulp from reputable
