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.
