Synthetic hemp or flax is the ideal choice for a lowering rope used to lower a coffin in a controlled manner. It combines a dignified, traditional appearance with the practical benefits of modern fiber technology. This rope also has surprising applications in other sectors:
- as a lowering rope in the construction industry for foundation work, basement construction, and restoration projects;
- for masons and construction workers as a hoisting and guide rope for loads moved by crane;
- for temporary hoisting and securing tasks during restoration work on churches, monuments, and historic buildings;
- in decorative applications: nautical decor, rustic interiors, site demarcation, and at museums and heritage sites.
The rope is virtually indistinguishable from real flax and feels natural and pleasant in the hand. The soft fibers ensure optimal comfort while providing a firm, safe grip during use.
Thanks to its synthetic composition, the rope does not absorb moisture and is unaffected by weather conditions. This ensures it remains flexible, durable, and low-maintenance, even in rainy weather.
Both ends of the rope are finished with heat-shrink tubing, creating a comfortable, sturdy handle that makes this grave-lowering rope easier to use.
Available dimensions:
- 20 mm – slimmer and easier to thread through coffin handles
- 24 mm – thicker gauge for maximum grip and control
- Standard lengths available: 6 m, 8 m, and 10 m.
A durable and reliable lowering rope that perfectly blends tradition, comfort, and functionality.
The ropes are made to order. Please allow a few working days for delivery.
