Crazy Coffins Crazy Coffins brings together a small team of joiners, designers and artists, who for twenty years h One day, a lady knocked on the door.

This lady had a half-built coffin in the back of her van. It was in the form of an aeroplane fuselage. She asked us to finish it off. Other people got to hear about this, and a trickle of orders came in. The Sun picked up the story, and ran it across the whole of Page 3. The Sun used the term 'crazy coffins'. That's how the name 'Crazy Coffins' was born. The newspaper acted as midwife, at a birth we'd never expected.

This urn was a challenge, but we’re delighted with the results! The Jaguar XKR has some of the most complex curves we have tried to recreate, but with the use of a digital 3D model for reference we think we nailed it! Carved out of Mahogany with a hollow birch core.
