Exploring your options

Styles and materials
A coffin has six or eight sides and is tapered at the head and foot. The lid is usually made in one piece and can be removed for a viewing or funeral service.
Coffins are available in traditional timber, contemporary and more environmentally conscious options, with different finishes and price points to consider.
Your dedicated Funeral Planner can talk you through the range and help you choose an option suited to the farewell you’re arranging and your budget.
Personal touches
A coffin can also provide an opportunity to reflect something meaningful about your loved one and the life they lived.
Depending on the coffin you choose, personalisation may include colours, photographs, artwork, writing or other meaningful details. Flowers or treasured items can also be incorporated into the farewell to create a more personal tribute.
Our team can help you explore what’s possible and choose touches that feel appropriate for your loved one and family.
