Customised Coffins - what would you choose?

[Tenkaykev]

As per the title, They're something that I'd previously been unaware of. Visiting Edinburgh last week, we decided to walk to the city centre for a few beers. I passed an undertkers shop on the way and there were a selection of decorated coffins with the invitation to design your own.
Apologies for the quality of the photo's, taking photo's through glass is challenging with a phone camera.
If you did want to choose, what would be your chosen design?

A bit of vinyl printing - what a way to make some cash from coffins.

I like the 'Only Fools' one

Put me in the compost heap in my levis and t shirt. Preferably after I've died.

An old cardboard bike box will do me.

It takes all sorts, they look ridiculous to me. The wicker one looks ok, but I prefer the idea from @ianrauk although I wold add in the luxury of some gaffer tape to stop me falling out.

Both my wife & I have specified in our wills that we want to be buried in biodegradable cardboard coffins.

And while we haven't actually specified where, it will be in one of the "natural burial grounds" that have been created in recent years.

Just a plain cardboard one for me as per my will

Can I get a second hand one to save a few Bob?

I expect there will be a new fad by the time I'm dead; maybe digital projection. No-one is going to see it apart from a few minutes when I'm lowered in, so for me it will be the cheapest/biodegradable one I would think. I'd rather spend money on a party afterwards

I quite like the idea of some sort of jack-in-the-box setup.

I'm the same - no funeral, no fuss, no ceremony - straight to cremation. My ashes to be scattered at the Bungalow on the Isle of Man TT course.
I've put money behind the bar. if any mates want to have a drink on me.

When you say "have a drink on me" do you mean they sit on your ashes while having a beer ?

Do I also get to choose who goes in the coffin?

Not fussed provided it’s flammable

Those aren't customised coffins. These are customised coffins:
