A Decorate It Yourself (DIY) coffin provides families with many design choices.

Family and friends can choose to paint any design on the coffin and /or paste a collage of photos, or ask family and friends to sign the coffin.

Often a mixture of these DIY design ideas is done.

The DIY Coffin is finished in white recycled paper suitable for artwork using decoupage, crayons, oil pastels, charcoal, felt pen, oil paints, acrylic paints.

To obtain a DIY coffin please order the coffin from your Funeral Director. The coffin will be delivered to your home (or other requested location) to enable family and friends to create the decoration.

The Art of Love      

“Initially the grandparents were so unsure about decorating the coffin when I delivered it to the family home. As they watched their son and grandchildren sitting on the floor, decorating Mum’s gift they soon realised what they were doing as a family. It was such a joy to see the whole family sitting on the floor sharing stories away about their Mum / daughter while they all hand painted the coffin.”
