Our handmade willow caskets are love-infused
Made with care and attention to detail in Oak Park, IL, these willow caskets are expertly handcrafted and handwoven to hold the body of your loved one. They may be placed within a green burial site or cemetery of your choosing.
Families are welcome to schedule a visit to the workshop to see the process and participate in weaving and storytelling about grief, love, loss, and remembrance. This can be a tremendously healing experience and an intentional way to add meaning to the creation of this final resting vessel. You can even choose to pre-purchase a beautiful casket to use in a practical way until it’s needed, such as for linen storage at the foot of a bed. In this case, we will build a base to fit your vision.

Tiffany provided a safe space for our dad to openly discuss and unpack this unique and emotional stage in life–an area of discussion that [was] unknown territory for me and my siblings. Tiffany was able to break the ice, provide my dad some physical comfort and emotional support that was invaluable, and we were able follow Tiffany’s lead in comforting him with nostalgia, nurturing, and loving touch.
In October 2019, my Dad was in hospice care, and I reached out to Tiffany for advice on how to accept his final journey in life. She listened to me about my challenges and my stories about him. Her gentle guidance led me to a safe place to express my grief. Being among the very few people I called after he passed, I found great comfort in her words.
My husband--so strong with a big, warm personality--lingered in hospice for many days beyond the doctor’s expectations. Tiffany helped us through the emotional journey of his transition. She was so respectful of our space and needs. It’s hard to describe the emotional peace and comfort that her presence brought us. Having someone present whose sole focus is your dying loved one and your immediate family is an extraordinary gift at a critically important time.
