The Coffin Ritual
Leaves With You is here to make the coffin that is right for you. We will listen to your story in order to make sure your coffin celebrates the life that is passing. The core of the coffin weaving ritual takes place with you, your family, your friends, and anyone you wish to be a part of celebrating your life, or the life of your passing loved one.
A color with meaning
Coffins can be personalized by color. The color might represent something about the passing soul, or be emblematic of an idea or feeling around which the family chooses to gather.
Leaves With You uses only natural dyes and can work with a variety of elements from the Earth that have meaning to your story.
To give you a little inspiration, the yellow rope was dyed with turmeric and achiote. This pink rope was dyed with leftover red onion skins.
