Modern Coffins - Funeral director | Brunskill Family Funerals

A fantastic selection of alternative and modern coffin styles

A range of designs and styles to suit all requirements

An ideal choice for alternative funerals

Some families may wish to have their loved one brought to the ceremony in a non-traditional coffin, one that reflects their beliefs or preferences better.

We stock a wide range of alternative designs and styles, which can be added to any funeral package for an additional cost. We also have more traditional designs available.

Modern coffin designs are becoming a more popular choice for families that would like an alternative or more eco-friendly funeral. View our selection below and get in touch with our team today.

Daisy Bamboo

Traditional in its shape, this coffin is created with a strong internal wooden frame and hand woven bamboo outer panels. Comes with a natural unbleached calico lining.

The Pathway

With Pathway each panel can be designed separately with a different image or theme. Each panel can be designed by a different family member or branch of the family.

Or designed together using panels for different periods and pastimes of a person’s life. These could be pictures of family or happy times. The chalkboard or whiteboard lid is for you to write messages and memories.

Personalised Picture Coffin

Working with our coffin provider we can help you choose a coffin with an image which best describes and illustrates your loved one’s life. Some examples include golf clubs, trains, football, sailing, gardening, or a variety of animals and household pets.
