Willow caskets, hourglasses

  Willow Caskets

Environmentally friendly willow wicker coffins hand woven by a skilled basket maker available from Somerset Willow.

Also in England, an artist explores the effects of human ash as glaze.

While in the U.S. one hourglass maker will send you a large empty hourglass made of Honduran mahogany and Bolivian rosewood "to fill with the dear departed by the customer."
