Here are just a few positives about making your own shroud:

  

            You can personalize: Make a shroud that reflects your, or loved one's, unique personality and beliefs.

            Honor someones spiritual journey: Shrouds are seen as a way to help the soul transition to the next world.

            Reduce your environmental impact: Shrouds are a more sustainable option than coffins or caskets.

            Save money: Shrouds are typically less expensive. 

            Choose a natural burial: Shrouds are a good option for natural burials. Embracing natural embalming and serene settings.

Advice:

Everything may go peachy and a shroud can even be made in 1 to 3 days, but it really depends on whether the materials are available and the experience of working with fabrics and the difficulty of the design, otherwise it ofcourse may take longer.

So get a cup of tea or anything you like, take your time and just experience the creation process. 
 

Good to know:

When using a shroud, you may also need a stretcher, bier or coffin. In some cases, you may be able to carry the body on your own, but these to carry can ensure safe transportation. Your funeral home can help you with this.
