Our story

At Lifelia, we believe every life deserves a farewell that is meaningful, personal and kinder to the world we leave behind.

A kinder choice. A meaningful farewell. A greener goodbye.

Look closely at the grain.

How they’re made

It looks like wood. The grain is printed.

The woodgrain on a Lifelia coffin is printed directly onto a responsibly sourced wood-fibre board, with no vinyl wrap and no plastic laminate.

It looks and feels familiar. It’s lightweight, yet it feels substantial, and each one is made in Leicestershire.

How they’re made

“I genuinely thought this was a traditional coffin.”

  • “The finish is remarkable.”
  • “It’s incredibly lightweight yet feels so substantial.”

The National Funeral Exhibition

Visitors to our stand have come to know us for cupcakes “planted” in little pots with shovel-shaped teaspoons. This June we added bee-friendly seed bombs to take home and plant.
