JC Atkinson, the leading independent manufacturer of coffins, caskets and urns, has acquired English Made Coffins and will be selling the Herefordshire based company’s complete range from 1st May 2019.
English Made Coffins, with their recognisable butterfly motif, are handcrafted with care and thought. They provide a beautiful resting place for loved ones. Solid wood, load-bearing bar handles are fitted, making them strong and easily manoeuverable.
The finishing details on the coffins have been thoughtfully selected to harmonise with the two different styles: The Oval and The Classic. Each comes with a handcrafted personalised book shaped nameplate, where additional personal messages can be included. A keepsake butterfly, attached with a simple pin system can be removed and kept after the funeral service. They come in three different wood species: The Oak Tree; The Walnut Tree and The Maple Tree, which are finished with a soft-sheen, eco-friendly, water-based lacquer and are suitable for both burial and cremation.
Greg Cranfield, Commercial Director at JC Atkinson, said of the new acquisition: “We aim to provide the highest standard of ethically hand-crafted products, while maintaining exceptional levels of quality, so adding English Made Coffins to the JC Atkinson portfolio felt like a natural fit”.

As a Funeral Directors who strives to offer the very best quality products available, we chose to use Atkinson’s Reflections range when it comes to picture coffins. Incorporating personal memories of the deceased that Jamie and the Reflections team have designed specifically for that individual family.
- Daniel from D.B.DevallsJust to let you know how elegant the Walnut Tree Oval coffin looked this morning - it caught everyone's eye, plenty of comments and none of the pallbearers had seen one like it. It really did look smart. The book for the name details is beautiful, really impressive.
- White Rose Modern FuneralsJust want to say a massive thank you to you & your team for this coffin, we along with the Humanist celebrant, crematorium staff, family and friends thought it was absolutely brilliant, on route to the crematorium there were people on the street taking photos of the coffin and EVERYONE had a big stupid smile on their faces.
- McKenzie and Millar - FuneralcareEveryone commented on how unusual the coffin was. Usually people are too scared to go up to the coffin at a funeral, but everyone went up to see and spent time looking at the photos that were displayed on the coffin. It made is so much easier to be close to dad
- Diane (on behalf of Poetic Endings Funeral Directors)Mum loved the outdoors and nature. She was very environmentally conscious. When we looked at your Eco friendly coffins we knew we’d be able to find something perfect for mum. It made such a sad time a little easier as we know she would have loved it.
- Mr & Mrs SingletonI loved the design on the picture coffin, it really captured my mother’s hobbies. She loved bowls, and to have the bowling green on was a wonderful way to say goodbye.
- Janice DohertyWe wanted to say goodbye to our sister Helen, but in something that was more than just ‘a box’. The different choices that were available in all styles was fascinating. We chose a beautiful American-style Casket and also got a separate keepsake in her memory.
