here for a short video
on the manufacture of caskets made out of willow.
It is done by a company out of England called Somerset Willow:
“Each one of our willow coffins has been beautifully and caringly hand woven by one of our skilled basket makers, making each coffin unique, special and a personal tribute to a loved one.
Willow is harvested annually, grows from the same crown up to 60 years, making it one of the few truly environmentally renewable resources.”

A website that features a ride through Soldiers Grove…………………” This is a town of about 700, rolling landscapes of unglaciated hills, situated along the “mighty” Kickapoo River and Baker Creek. It is also the site of a magnificent Veterans Memorial and a park honoring Medal of Honor recipient Beauford T. “Andy” Anderson, who nearly single-handedly took down 25 enemy soldiers on Kakazu Ridge, Okinawa, and saved his company’s flank through good old fashioned GI ingenuity and the help of a fellow comrade, Hans Kaufmann, who fed him their improvised “ammo.” Celebrating Andy’s achievements one year caused one local poet’s wife to weep and him to swallow hard. America at it’s very best in Soldiers Grove.”
