Painting a coffin

By painting a coffin together, you can involve children in saying goodbye to a loved one in a very special way.

This is often easier with paint than with words.

Children have such a responsibility and contribute to the complete farewell. This helps to process loss in a way that suits them, in their own experience and fantasy.

't kunsthuis offers the opportunity for this special farewell moment. In a nice, intimate environment, in a relaxed way with paint, chalk and other drawing materials, painting the coffin together. A precious togetherness.

Painting a coffin together is like creating a loving warm blanket. It takes time and attention.

Call or email us and ask about all the possibilities.

'It has enriched and simplified the whole process so much that we were able to paint the coffin together with Mara. Children are open and uninhibited. We add the load.
It was very nice to see Mara in our coffin later on.
