Okay – I think this is an amazing creation!!!
My Uncle Harvey has recently created his own casket. When I first saw these photo’s, I was enthralled! I’ve never seen anything like this before – and it’s gorgeous!!!
Yes, that’s Uncle Harvey – hopefully he’s not going to need his lovely ‘box’ for many years yet!!!
This is what he had to say about how this came about:Thank you for your kind remarks about my lovely’ box’. An ex-pupil made it for me (he now owns a joinery factory) out of particle board to my style and specification. It was then painted “British Racing Green” – always been a favourite colour of mine. The painter did a great job and we have always used him whenever one of our cars needed attention.
Finally the graphics – a demanding job sorting out the appropriate photos and locating them in the best positions. An expert friend did this for me, but I did the pin stripe and fitted the handles and cover screws. Inside is finished to the same standard as the outside, and roomy enough for my dog if he’s still around.
The finished price of my box is the same price as the cheapest box available, so I am well pleased with the result. If you feel inclined, place it on your Blog – I might get some orders!
The center top panel is empty – that’s where the casket spray goes. The left panel is a great picture of my handsome Uncle, and the right panel has words. There are pictures around the entire box, with a larger one on each end.I love how the whole box has such meaning to Uncle Harvey and those who know and love him.
Very impressive Uncle Harvey – and I’m sure your dog loves it too!
Edited to add: Unfortunately Uncle Harvey passed away last year (2017) and was laid to rest in his lovely box. Love you Uncle H!
