History
Archeological evidence for the use of felt in a burial tomb comes from the Altai Mountains in Siberia. Dating from around 600 BC, the permafrost miraculously preserved some huge pieces of felt whose purpose is unknown, but their presence in the tomb suggests some ritual significance.
There is a historical precedent for the use of woollen shrouds closer to home - in 1666 an Act of Parliament decreed that everyone had to be buried in a woollen shroud to stimulate the failing wool trade.
We aim to be a part of a movement that has a more celebratory approach to a funeral... as in other cultures.
