ART AND SOUL COFFINS – vessels for the journey
Quote about Art and Soul Coffins from “Now” magazine by Karen James. October 2000.
“Death comes to us all. It is inevitable, though many of us waste a lot of time and effort denying this simple fact. To live well, it is essential to face the reality of our own death”.
Art and Soul Coffins/Caskets provides a vehicle for expression of this inevitable fact. It opens dialogue with families and friends to discover what our own life journey is about and how that can be told through coffin decoration and ceremony.
In the bigger picture this opportunity allows us to create and tell our stories for those generations to follow and for us to define our distinctive nature.
We assist families to find individual ways to express the life lived, by combining Funeral Ceremony with elegant Hand Painted Coffins/Caskets as a Healing Art.
Allow your friends and family to express their grief with actively engaging in the preparation of the coffin or casket with paint, poetry and song.
Express your uniqueness by ordering your individually hand painted and decorated coffins or caskets with hand wrought handles and linings to suit.
