expressive coffin - sweet tooth
For someone who had a real sweet tooth! You could compliment the top of this coffin with a candy bouquet and hand the out to guests as they leave the service.
expressive coffin - local team
The family supplied 2 photos of their loved one's sports jersey. The Expression’s creative team recreated a jersey design (using the same colours, texture and fabric) to appear as if it flowed down the length of the coffin. The team number and nickname was even added to the lid. They used the team logo from the supplied images and photoshopped it onto the coffin.
expressive coffin - surfing
From one old surfing photo and a poem the Expression's creative team designed this. With some digital enhancement to the photo they were able to use the 1980's surfing photo on the top and sides of the coffin. On the top of the coffin they were able to place his name, dates and the special poem in beautiful typography.
expressive coffin - wedding
Four photos of family weddings and a special verse were provided. The Expression’s creative team retouched the vintage wedding photo and placed it on the lid. The other wedding photos went along the sides. They placed the special verse at the head end, and their loved one's name was added to the lid in beautiful typography. The upper lid section was gold as they had recently reached their gold wedding anniversary.

How are Coffins different to Caskets?

A common question asked when planning a funeral is, what is the difference between a Casket and Coffin? The answer is in the design. While a Casket is rectangular with a hinged lid, a Coffin is a hexagonal shape with wide shoulders. Caskets are more comfortably lined inside with padded mattresses and pillows, while Coffins have a simpler interior. They both represent an important tribute to a loved one, as they play the practical role of holding the body as well as providing a way to honour and celebrate the life of the lost.
