Eco-design of a cremation coffin & urn
Soul Ash Solace There’s only one certainty in life: we will all die someday. In our society there’s a trend towards cremation. Cremation however demands for specific solutions. Therefore we’ve created a cremation coffin with integrated urn in order to appeal to the specific functional needs and emotional circumstances of a cremation funeral. Most coffins on the market are too expensive for cremation and aren’t made for burning. Our cremation coffin however is fully executed in ecological materials (corrugated board, papier-mâché and wood), is budget-friendly and easy burnable. As a result, the cremation process itself goes faster having both an economical as well as an ecological benefit. On top of the coffin there’s a ‘memory capsule’. The urn is executed in stainless steel and has the shape of a sandglass – Time heals all wounds. The urn withstands the cremation process during which it will be coloured through the heat, to give it a personal patina.
