One advantage operating in the funeral services and products industry is, well, there’s always going to be a market.
And while it is an industry steeped in tradition, one business has taken innovation to the next level by offering a range of personalised coffins for those taking the stairway to heaven.
When The Note got word that Australian company InvoCare, which owns and operates funeral homes, cemeteries and crematoria, also created one-of-a-kind coffins, it just had to send shutterbug Grant Currall to grab a snap.
In what is thought be an Australian first, the heavenly company is offering Western Australians 26 styles and designs of custom-made coffins, at a starting price of $2,000.
The dearly departed can have a last chance of extravagance with their coffin featuring everything from their favourite sports club logo, to designs encompassing fishing, musical instruments, surfing, horse racing, or just photographs of family.
Custom-made coffins is the brainchild of InvoCare state general manager Andrew Hogan, whose designs are being offered by a range of funeral service providers such as Purslowe Funerals, Simplicity Funerals, Chipper Funerals, Oakwood Funerals, and Christian Funerals.
Perth-based Advanced Signage Concepts is offering its graphic and artwork expertise to the designer coffin trade, which The Note believes people are already dying to see
