What is a personalised coffin?

A personalised coffin is a coffin that carries a design chosen for one person. It might be a garden of roses, the colours of their football club, a favourite stretch of coastline, or a collage of family photographs. It does the same job as any other coffin. The difference is that it says something about the life being remembered.

Why families choose one

A funeral is often the last thing a family can do for someone. Many people tell us that choosing a design was the first moment in the week that felt like it was really about them: Dad and his fishing, Mum and her garden, a grandmother who never missed a Crows game. Guests notice, and it starts conversations and stories.

Three ways to personalise

• Choose a design. Browse hundreds of designs across floral, nature, places, sport, hobbies, animals and more.
• Add photos and words to a design. Names, dates, a message or family photographs can be added to any side of any design at no extra cost.
• Start from your own photos. Our designers can create a one-off design from your photographs and ideas. See personalised coffins, or try the online tool at Design it Yourself.

Whichever way you go, you see a digital proof and approve it before anything is printed.

What is included

Every Lifestyle Coffin arrives at the funeral home complete and ready for the service, with a white eco-satin lining and pillow, clear handles and thumbscrews.

Burial or cremation

Lifestyle Coffins are suitable for both burial and cremation.

Sizes

Adult coffins come in Standard, Oversize and Oversize 1, with Bariatric sizes personalised to order, and there is a children's range called Little Ones. Your funeral director confirms the size with us, so you do not need to measure anything. Details are in the size guide.

How long it takes

Coffins are finished in our Port Adelaide studio once the proof is approved. As a guide, delivery is about two days to Adelaide funeral homes and four to seven days interstate. See delivery for each state. If the service is close, call us on 1300 250 307 and we will do everything we can.

How to order

Lifestyle Coffins are supplied through funeral homes, and your funeral director looks after the order and payment as part of the funeral arrangements. You can find a funeral home that offers them, or simply ask your own funeral arranger for a Lifestyle Coffin. Our guide on how to order explains each step.
