Painting or personalizing an urn or coffin

for a deceased person, or perhaps even for yourselves. The following applies as a guideline:

  • Free initial consultation: to help you get your bearings
  • Duration of the design process: between 3.5 and 6 hours.
  • The exact duration depends on whether an urn or a coffin is being painted, and on the complexity of the design.
  • What happens: During this time, we’ll discuss how you’d like the urn or coffin to look, try out different ideas and create the design.
  • Agreement in advance: We’ll agree on the exact costs beforehand.
  • Costs vary: depending on how many of you there are and how time-consuming the design is.
  • Longer than planned: Sometimes it takes longer than we agreed in advance. In that case,
  • the additional time required will determine any extra costs.
  • Travel fee: Details below
