Agree! Much more creative than a heavy duty wooden box with ugly brass handles. I'd love a version designed with the ranunculus painting from my avatar growing up around the sides and a plain white top so I can still have flowers. I'll have to pop my clogs in the Springtime though so I get all my faves.

Having attended 14 funerals by the age of 28, I'm fairly pragmatic about death. An attractive coffin that reflects the favourite things of the deceased is a lovely tribute.

Must be a caithnessian thing ha ha

I would much prefer to go out in a box decorated with flowers than a veneered covered MDF box with ugly brass handles....... I like them ! and i know my other half would like the football ones !! But will donate him to science , so he wont need one !

Where is my bleedin' avatar?!!! If one of you lot's had it you'll be needing a coffin sharpish, painted with poppies or not!

lol. when the site updated you had to "buy" the right to have one

On first glance I thought "Oh No " Then I looked again. There are families that decide no flowers and give gifts to charity. A decorated coffin would look better than a plain coffin. Also I have made bouquets for brides who wear patterned wedding outfits so I don't see why a family who wanted flowers could not choose a pattered coffin and a floral tribute.

Personally I would rather go out in a sack thrown on a bonfire at the bottom of the garden instead of costing my loved one a small fortune to dispose of! And as I have been on the donor list on the National Computer for some years that could well be pretty close to what happens to me.

So If people like them fine...............anything that gives the family some solace at that awful time is ok by me (except for me dressed naked astride a horse leading the funeral parade as one very strange dream had me doing one night - but that is another story!)
