How beautiful is Chelsea’s coffin? It was lovingly decorated with coffin art by friends as their way of paying tribute and giving space and recognition to their emotions. This is the special guard of honour after the funeral ceremony organised by Picaluna Funerals, held at Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club at Luddenham which CeremonyCast filmed for the funeral live stream.
Why is coffin art important?
The act of drawing on a coffin allows us to express our creativity and emotions in a tangible and visual way. We can adorn the surface with intricate designs, symbols, or images that reflect the personality, passions, and cherished memories of the one we’ve lost. It’s a form of artistic expression that creates a truly personalized and meaningful farewell.
Coffin art goes beyond mere words; it’s a heartfelt message, a final conversation, or a collection of shared memories. We can pen down our love, gratitude, and the impact the departed has had on our lives. It becomes a lasting tribute that holds immense significance for both the grieving and future generations.
Drawing and writing on a coffin is a collective act that brings mourners together. It creates a space for reflection, storytelling, and healing. As we pick up the brush or pen, we share our grief, comfort one another, and find solace in the memories and connections that continue to bind us.
This unique tradition of coffin art also invites participation from family, friends, and even children, providing an opportunity for them to actively engage in the funeral process. It encourages open expression of emotions, fostering a sense of togetherness and understanding as we navigate the path of loss.
If you find yourself attending a funeral where coffin art is embraced, consider this heartfelt gesture. Allow your creativity and emotions to flow onto the surface, leaving an indelible mark that represents the love and bond you shared with the departed. It’s an act of remembrance, celebration, and healing.
Let us embrace the power of coffin art and words to honour our loved ones. May the act of drawing and writing on a coffin provide us with a meaningful way to say our final goodbyes and leave a lasting testament of the love that lives on.
