Honoring the Dead with Beautiful Burial Shrouds

  • Summary

  • Virginia Marcolin’s background in fashion and textiles led her to start designing burial shrouds, experimenting with luxurious natural fabrics and vegetable dyes. The result was Sanctum, a brand of high-end scented burial shrouds for the natural funeral industry. Virginia sources a variety of high-quality organic fabrics which are soft to the touch and biodegradable. Fabrics are colored with non-toxic plant dyes and infused with a proprietary plant-based antibacterial formula, which inhibits germ growth and neutralizes malodor.

    The result for families is a comforting, beautiful, aromatic cocoon wrapped around their loved one which will carry them to their final resting place. Shrouds can be part of family-guided death care, green funerals, or human composting. A shroud can even be part of a cremation. According to the Sanctum website, their mission is to enhance the sensory experience of alternative funerals for loved ones while eliminating toxins and pollutants from traditional burial practices.

    You can find the full selection of these Earth-friendly, elegant shrouds at sanctumshrouds.com.
