Stickers on coffins

[Setarime]

There's nothing cheerful about a coffin - until you cover it with colourful pictures. The idea of decorating caskets is helping some people come to terms with that only sombre certainty we all have in life.

When Mary Tomes dies, she doesn't want a plain wooden box.

"I want a bright yellow coffin, one that says something about me. One brown box doesn't fit all. It doesn't show your personality or your sense of humour. My husband told me not to be so daft."
That was four years ago. Now Mary, a 62-year-old grandmother, not only has a sunshine-yellow coffin for when she meets her maker, but runs Colourful Coffins in Oxford, which prints customised paper wraps to stick onto caskets.

Her initially reluctant husband Kevin, 58, is chief designer, and the pair use their skills as printers to turn 3,000 caskets into visual representations of those inside.

I think this is a brilliant idea. Yeah funerals are upsetting because you have lost someone close to you but it should also be about celebrating their life and their personality. Being buried in something that reflects your personality sounds really good. When I go i dont want people wearing black at my funeral, I want people to wear their teams colours, whether it be football or rugby>
