Personalising your coffin can be a deeply meaningful way to celebrate your unique life and personality. Adding your personal touch to this aspect of your funeral can create a tribute that is truly memorable and serves as a lasting symbol of your life. In this blog post, we will discuss the different ways in which you could personalise your coffin, with a particular focus on using photo wraps, decals and other accessories to create a truly unique tribute.
Choosing a Theme
Before adding any decorations to your coffin, it is important to choose a theme or concept. This can be based on your favourite colour, hobby, profession, or any other aspect of your life that is important to you. Once you’ve selected a theme, this can help guide your selection of decorations and guide you in creating a cohesive and meaningful tribute.
Adding Photos: Adding photos to your coffin can be an effective way to personalise it. Photo wraps are custom-made vinyl wraps that can be applied to a coffin to create a seamless and high-quality image. Decals, on the other hand, are smaller and can be placed anywhere on a coffin. Both photo wraps and decals can be used to display photos of yourself or to include your favourite memories on your coffin. Adding photos to your coffin can be a beautiful way to honour your life and create a lasting reminder of your presence.
Adding Quotes: Quotes or messages can be added to a coffin to personalise it. This can be done either by engraving the relevant quote or message onto a wood coffin, or by using decals. Quotes can be a beautiful way to express your personality or to provide comfort to your grieving loved ones. Whether it’s a favourite saying, a line from a poem, movie, or song, or a personal message, a quote can help create a meaningful tribute.
Adding Accessories: Another way of personalising your coffin is through the use of accessories. These can include flowers, ribbons, or even objects that are meaningful to you. For example, if you were a musician or a keen horse rider, you could have your favourite instrument or a horseshoe added to your coffin. In this way, accessories can help create a tribute that reflects your personality and interests, and to visually solidify your legacy.
Working with a Funeral Director: When personalising your coffin, it is important to work with a funeral director who can provide guidance and support. Funeral directors have experience in helping people plan meaningful and personalised funeral services, and they can assist in choosing the right decorations and accessories for the coffin.
We encourage you to consider using some or all of the above suggestions to personalise your coffin, as this offers an opportunity for you to leave a lasting tribute that celebrates your unique personality and the life you lived, while also providing a source of comfort for your loved ones.
