When my Mum died we asked our funeral director for a willow coffin. He wanted £760!!! I looked on ebay…no luck there. But I did find a site that sells and quickly delivers coffins. They sent it to our funeral director. We used lots of greenery from Mum’s garden and wove it through the wicker. It was beautiful and what Mum would have wanted. Much ‘softer’ than a horrible ‘hammer house of horror’ coffin.
The site is

I taught a Grief and Loss course at a local university a couple of summers ago. Part of my curriculum was to introduce green burial. I found an excellent movie, actually, that took you through what happens to a body at a funeral home (horribly disgusting) and then the green burial process. My students were amazed. I have outlined my green burial for my loved ones, and they assure me that they will follow my wishes.

I am really glad someone besides myself has a thing about wicker- um, can you imagine how during the funeral it will make popping and squeeking noises as the weight of the body settles in and while someone is standing there saying goodbye! ah! I really like the recycled paper box best, because I like the idea of composting quickly and having a garden grow where my body or ashes are put.

Ha! I love the recycled paper one. I told my husband about the ‘Everybody Coffin’ and he loves the idea, but wants to build it himself and have it, like, sit in our garage until he croaks (which hopefully will be decades from now!). I can’t imagine using one as a coffee table, though, even though I do have a secret past life as a goth chick – it’s still a bit too morbid for my taste!

Well I love that you had the guts to post about this. Why shouldn’t we be thinking of ‘the final day’?

When I was younger I would visit the local cemetery because it was so peaceful. But then one day I peered over the edge of a freshly dug plot and I was disgusted to see a cement box large enough to accommodate a full size coffin.

I imagined its purpose was to preserve the expensive coffin that would eventually be lowered into the ground.

Ugh. I just remember thinking that we put so much energy into preserving our bodies and for what?

In any case all of the options you present certainly have made me think about a subject I would otherwise put off until it’s too late.

I’m leaning toward the coffin table. It’s so IKEA.
