What
As society is turning to
a more environmentally
friendly lifestyle, cardboard
coffins are becoming more
and more popular for those
searching for a ‘greener’
funeral. But that does not
mean than any style has to
be lost.
It has been over 20 years since William’s
father developed Greenfield Creation’s
first cardboard coffin- and they have
been selling them ever since. A sign
writer and cardboard engineer, he did
not just want to offer plain cardboard
coffins; he would paint images on to
them. William, managing director of
Greenfield Creations, said that his father
also printed directly on to the board for
a stock range of coffin designs. These
included green, white, woodgrain,
marble - or any colour of the customers’ choice. But over the years, the
design and make process has evolved,
with increasing amounts of customer
involvement.
Our customers can simply
submit their own photos or
images or get their initial
inspiration from our website. Sometimes they will
give us a theme to work
with, for example ‘A menagerie of animals’. We then
put together design options
using photos, drawings or
website images. We get so
much pleasure working with
our customers with design
ideas.
