Belgium’s Maximal Design’s Soul Ash Solace is a simple, yet elegant, cremation coffin of corrugated cardboard, papier-mâché and wood that is budget-friendly and easily burnable. A sandglass-shaped urn of stainless steel sits on top and when it goes through the cremation process, it acquires a patina that personalizes it. The journey towards this memory capsule marks the emotional and ecological functions of a cremation.
simply put, brilliant and beautiful...and needed.
I hope that it truly is "budget friendly". It looks both beautiful and respectful. I think it's a shame (since it seems not to be a crime) to see how funeral service companies prey on the grieving and guilt them into expensive nonsense.
