John Parfitt stacks harvested willow for drying, some of which will be used make willow coffins in the workshops of P H Coate & Son's English Willow Coffins, at the Willows and Wetlands Visitor Centre in the village of Stoke St Gregory near Taunton on March 8, 2010 in Somerset, England. The company founded in 1819 and still run by the same family has been growing and weaving willow in the heart of the Somerset levels for nearly 200 years. More recently the company has diversified into offering a selection of the handmade willow coffins, crafted by skilled basket makers, using traditional and sustainable methods. Willow coffins increasingly favored as an alternative to traditional coffins due to their aesthetic appeal and for sound environmental reasons.
