Your personal design service for a Picture Coffin.

Bespoke Picture Coffin* –

Any design can be created by our design team. Families can send pictures to use along with a brief of their idea. Often designs can be based on a few different themes, colours, textures, or be of a particular brand or event. *Sometimes designs can be subject to copyright.

Hobbies & Passions –
Additional cost of £450.00

As with sports, pastimes and leisure activities can become a defining aspect of people’s lives. Be it painting, fishing or gardening, we can create a picture coffin that utilises photographs supplied. If the deceased rode a particular motorbike, or sailed a particular vessel, we are happy to create a design that incorporates the right imagery for a truly personalised picture coffin.

Personal details can be added to any of our coffin or ashes designs.*

Floral Tributes –
Additional cost of £450.00

Floral tributes have a long association with funeral arrangements and as such it is not surprising that picture coffins that utilise flowers in their design have become a popular choice. These floral designs offer a softer, more colourful alternative to a traditional wood coffin and can hold special significance. Poppies are well known for their link to remembrance, while daffodils can signify re-birth and renewal.

Sporting Life –

Additional cost of £450.00

Sport can become a passionate corner-stone of our lives, manifesting itself in a life long dedication to a particular team. Many of the requests that utilise our personalised service reflect a special memory. Sporting and team coffins remain some of our most popular designs. Through flags and motifs we can reference national teams and, in the event of wanting to include a specific club, we can secure the permission to do so wherever possible.

Personal details can be added to any of our coffin or ashes designs.*

Somewhere Special –
Additional cost of £450.00

Landscape views and vistas often conjure up very emotive feelings, which resonate with certain periods in people’s personal history. For this reason a landscape inspired picture coffin can conjure up memories of a loved one’s past, perhaps displaying a place that held special meaning for them, or a location where they enjoyed spending time. Our team can recreate panoramas that wrap around the sides of the coffin from photographs supplied; or if it is a well known location, we can source the images on your behalf.

Animal Kingdom –
Additional cost of £450.00

Many of us are animal lovers and as such picture coffins featuring animals are amongst our most popular designs. They are perfect for someone who had a beloved pet, enjoyed spotting wildlife, or had an interest in exotic creatures. We offer designs featuring various types of household pets, wild animals and insects, but we are also happy to create a bespoke design depicting a personal pet using photographs provided.

Words to Remember –
Additional cost of £450.00

Many of our customers like to include poetry, readings, song lyrics or their own writing on the coffin design for a more sentimental and personal touch. They may represent a favourite piece of prose or express an emotion or sentiment that celebrates the life of your loved one. The text can be laid over or combined into any design and can give an additional level of meaning to your personalised picture coffin. We have illustrated a few popular choices below, but you can add anything you like to almost any image.
