Flat-pack coffin

OK… which would you prefer? Sombre mahogany or oak, with solid brass fittings and a deep velvet lining… or a cardboard box?

Yes, welcome to the world of the flat-pack coffin, printed with greetings card images that will have funeral congregations rolling in the aisles. ‘Rest in peas’ says one especially appropriate coffin, which will help the mourning process no end.

Creative Coffins, the maker of these beauties, seems to have started with the good idea that people want a green alternative to traditional wooden coffins. But then they had the brilliant idea of covering them with huge images which suggest your recently lost loved one is inside a box of chocs, a bottle of vodka, a snooker table, or the Tardis.

Choose your novelty coffin here! Guaranteed to turn tragedy into farce.
