Does anyone have coffin plans?

That's my question: anyone have plans for the "old fashioned"
wooden coffin? Particularly ones which are scalable for modern day
adults?

"Asking for a friend"

Just planning ahead.

And Youtube videos....

I believe Roy Underhill demonstrated the "old fashion" method quite nicely.

I'm trying to figure out what type of wooden coffin plan *wouldn't* be scalable.

Maybe include one of those little folding army shovels -
- just in case ... you know - the buried alive scenario ...
Also - for lid fasteners - do a google-image search for
" coffin nails " ... bet you'll be surprised ! I was.

Thanks - that's the hard ware, I'm looking for plans for "the box".
Something a little more up scale than "plain pine box".

where will they be buried in some locales you have to use something
that is heavy and will not heave

or float

but if it is just for the open casket ceremony than you can really
go online and find the style you like


then discreetly measure the subject height and weight

if it is not for open casket ceremony get some thick plywood rip some
tubafours and secure the corners and make enough handles to match
the weight of the decedent and the strength of the pallbearers

maybe paint with team colors

if the decedent believes in the afterlife leave some room for their
tablet or tv and maybe six pack and other stuff like favorite hat
or snacks

Worse thing about my funeral is that I'm going to miss it by just
a few days.
