Coffins

Coffins are used at both funerals and cremations, and in a ceremony the coffin is a central visual element that should help give the deceased a dignified farewell. When choosing a coffin, many people therefore want the details and design to reflect the personality or life of the deceased. There are many options when it comes to design and material, where the color of the coffin also helps to set an individual expression on the ceremony.
