The idea began over seven years ago when basket weaver Sian Turner was taking basketry courses in Europe and saw her first woven willow casket. Inspired by the craftsmanship, green burial ethic and her own personal near death experience, she sought training in the UK in the spring of 2023. By the fall, she had taught four more local weavers how to build caskets: Gemma McNeill, Julie Stinson, Susie Murphy and Will Frankland. Together, we formed Willow’s Bend Collective.
The Funerary Artisans Collective is a group of funeral goods artists and craftspeople who choose to exhibit their work on this site. This website is intended for consumer education only. It is not intended to endorse. All exhibitors participate as independent free agents responsible for the quality and availability of their own products; their work is not juried. All purchases are between the individual artist and the consumer. The Collective is not responsible for transactions or communications between members and consumers.
