At some point in our lives most of us will have to arrange a funeral and one day we will all have our own funeral. One of the decisions you will have to make when arranging a funeral will be about the coffin, but have you ever thought about what coffin you would want?
To get the conversation started about death and dying, how about designing your own coffin? Ecoffins have provided the template and you can produce your design in any way you wish - drawing, painting, collage or photograph.
