Ever heard of a woolen coffin? Neither had I until I spoke to Eleanor Hunt, founder of the Woolen Cwtch Company. Eleanor is revolutionising the funeral industry by creating unique woolen coffins, shrouds, and urns that are not only biodegradable but also support local farmers by unlocking the value of their wool.
Based in rural Wales, Eleanor saw an opportunity to repurpose local wool—a resource farmers were struggling to profit from—into something totally unique: beautiful, biodegradable woolen coffins. She shares how she turned a simple idea into a growing business, completely rethinking an industry steeped in tradition.
This episode is packed with insights for anyone creating a product from scratch, especially if you’re figuring things out as you go. Eleanor’s journey shows the power of persistence, how she navigated product development (including some serious trial and error), and why she’s so passionate about making a positive impact—both for the planet and the farming community.
If you’ve ever had a business idea and thought, Where do I even start?, this episode is for you. Eleanor’s advice? Just start. You’ll figure it out along the way!
