Coffin Couches
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.

But for many of us, it can be difficult or even impossible to visit a gravesite – not for lack of time or the desire, but because we’re limited by distance, physical ability or other constraints.
At Gravescape, that’s why we’re here – to help you pay tribute to the ones you love.
On holidays and anniversaries, for special occasions or just the changing seasons, we deliver flowers and wreaths to gravesites. We create small beds for live plants. We clean up markers and monuments with tender loving care. And we photograph gravesites in cemeteries throughout the United States.

Lasting Images - Movie
http://bside.com/films/lastingimages
Film Synopsis
You know the saying ”death and taxes….,” but tax time comes only once a year and death comes approximately ninety six times per minute. What will be done with you when your minute arrives? Enter Lasting Images, a feature documentary taking a peek at the lighter side of contemporary choices in human remains disposition.
Traditional, six feet under burials are still the first choice among Americans today, so four months were spent following students at a Mortuary Science School filming the beginning to end process of Traditional Burial, and gathering information regarding non-traditional methods of human disposal and memorials.
Then it was on to Cremation, the second most popular choice today. The filmmakers drove all across the US to not only document the numerous ways people use the ashes of their loved one to honor the lighter side of their lives, but also to film an actual cremation.
Next the growing alternative Green movement was explored.

The ShivaShade™ is a accordion style white paper shade that comes in a standard size of 36″ Wide x 72″ Long. The top of the shade has a strip of easy-off adhesive that does not leave a mark on the mirror. This allows the shade to simply be un-boxed and hung on the mirror.
