Funerals have changed in recent years and an increased interest in green and alternative ceremonies has meant there is now an option for us to be laid to rest in anything from cardboard to bamboo. Responding to this, a pair of textile artists in Devon and Wales - Yuli Somme and Anne Belgrave - are making coffins from felt. The idea of burial in wool has ancient roots, and in the seventeenth century the government even made it a legal requirement for everyone to be buried in a woollen shroud. Reporter Sarah Swadling went to meet Yuli Somme in her Dartmoor workshop.
