Handmade Burial Vessels

Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina, Moss and Thistle Farm embraces the beauty of nature while crafting sustainable and biodegradable caskets, burial trays and shrouds. Led by the skilled hands of Sarah Lasswell, willow grower and casket maker, our burial vessels are meticulously handcrafted with locally sourced willow, grown on Appalachian family farms, and unfinished pine, poplar, hemp, cotton, linen, and wool. Our farm upholds environment- and human-friendly growing and harvesting practices, ensuring that each casket we create leaves a gentle footprint on the earth.
