Coffin Couches

www.coffincouches.com

We at Coffincouches.com have the mindset of thinking “Green” and we know it is different but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch. If you notice (although it may be too small) the six cast iron heavy duty legs are embossed with the universal biohazard insignia. The reason we utilize this sign is because safety is our utmost concern. If you are not aware, once a human body is placed in a coffin it is considered biohazard tissue. The legs have the embossed insignia for precautionary reasons in the event body fluids are exchanged on these coffins. Perhaps you would feel safe knowing that you are in designated biohazard scene!

Coffin It Up

Bryan, the creator of the coffins on this site, is an artist and a cabinetmaker professionally. But he also has a passion for working with Obsidian. Since the earliest saw blades used to cut coffin boards were crafted from obsidian, it seemed only fitting to him that he should be working in both fields, so �Coffin it Up� was born.

Bryan creates coffin furniture, jewelry and storage boxes, and actual coffins for burial. He also paints various coffin and grave-related scenes.
