Painted Coffin

Yesterday was our second funeral in a week! Very different from my uncle's, but still moving. The coffin was beautiful - pale yellow (Iris's favourite colour) with a border of painted irises and daffodils (her favourite flower) round the sides and a painted spray of irises on the lid. I've never seen a painted coffin before and it really did reflect the person who had died. It got John and me talking about what we would want painted on our coffins - not as morbid as it sounds.
