Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Colourful Coffins.

If you can't find what you're looking for below, please contact us on 01865 779172 or email enquiries@colourfulcoffins.com

  1. Who owns the designs?
    The design and artwork produced by Colourful Coffins remains the exclusive property of Colourful Coffins and is licensed exclusively to the Customer in perpetuity for the Customer's personal use only.
  2. What about copyright for some characters such as Disney or 007, or for Premier League club colours?
    We're always very careful to seek copyright approval from the right authority. Many organisations are very sympathetic to our requests, but if permission isn't forthcoming for any reason, then we work with the family to come up with a suitable alternative.
  3. How much does a Colourful Coffin cost?
    Because we only sell directly to funeral directors, we don't typically divulge our prices. However, we can say that the cost of a Colourful Coffin is on a par with a typical pine coffin.
  4. How environmentally friendly is a Colourful Coffin?

    We feel very strongly about the environment and do everything we can to adopt a green approach. As such, Colourful Coffins only use paper or material wraps and environmentally friendly inks. We have also recently launched the UK's first 100% recycled cardboard coffin, which gives families the chance to combine a greener funeral option without compromising on quality or design style.

    Working with Climate Care, we have also recently become the first and ONLY company within the UK funeral trade to offset the greenhouse gas emissions on every coffin sold for cremation equating to 215 kg of CO2 per typical wooden coffin.

  5. What if my funeral director doesn't offer Colourful Coffins?
    In this case, please contact us and we would be happy to contact the funeral director on your behalf. Alternatively, you can find more funeral directors in your local area using our online stockist locator.
  6. What is a memorial website?
    A memorial website is a great way for friends and family to commemorate, celebrate or simply remember someone special. Having a memorial website can also be an important way for friends or family who can't attend the funeral to share their memories and view the images that you have posted online, enabling them to feel that in their own way they have still been part of the service.
  7. Who is much loved?
    MuchLoved is a charity that works for bereaved people worldwide, enabling them to create sensitive, personalised and lasting website memorials in memory of their loved ones.
  8. I purchased a Colourful Coffin before the above service was launched, but would like create an online memorial website. Is this possible?
    Yes, the new service is open to all Colourful Coffins customers, regardless of when the coffin was purchased. To find out more, please contact us direct on 01865 779172 or email enquiries@colourfulcoffins.com
