Actual Radio interview with Jenny and Beth from Coffin Club Colchester
“There’s more than one choice for your final farewell”
Coffin Club Colchester provides the opportunity to talk about what is traditionally a taboo subject. You can attend for speaker only or stay on to decorate your own low carbon footprint coffin.

The coffins fit anyone up to 6’4″ and up to 18 stone in weight. They come flat-packed and flat-pack again, once decorated, for storage. Our fabulous Dutch flat-packed coffins are suitable for both burial and cremation. At a cost of £250 incl. primer and roller to get you started. You can then choose suitable (water-based) paints and decorations to complete your own design. The coffin then flat-packs again for easy storage.
Funeral poverty is a growing problem in the UK with many families going into debt in order to cover the cost of a loved one's funeral. It doesn't need to be like that...
"So join the funeral revolution and construct and decorate your own coffin that reflects who you are and take your final journey in style!!!"
