White hand painted casket with delicate branch motif in cream studio
The finished hand-painted original can be assessed as a whole.

Finished work in stock

The finished coffin is already painted and its appearance can be judged as a whole. The family chooses a specific original according to the motif, colors and available design. This route is especially suitable when time is short or when one of the existing works immediately appeals to the family.

The "In stock" mark always needs to be verified by phone or email. In addition to physical availability, the size, delivery date, transport and compliance with the requirements of the funeral service or crematorium are also checked.

Painting on request

The motive for the wish begins with a conversation about a person. This is followed by the selection of the main image, color and scale. Before painting, the design is agreed and a realistic deadline is agreed upon. The more complex the composition and the larger the area, the more time needs to be left for the work itself as well as drying and safe handling.

When time is of the essence, a simple and well-chosen theme is better than too many details completed in a hurry.

Five questions for the first phone call

Legal and operational framework

Funeral services in the Czech Republic are governed by Act No. 256/2001 Coll. and related rules. Artistic appearance is therefore not the only criterion. The specific product must correspond to the chosen burial method and operating conditions. It is always advisable to coordinate the practical steps with the funeral service that provides the ceremony and transportation.

If the family chooses ahead of time, they may have more room for a new design. In an emergency, a ready-made original can be a calmer and safer way to go. Neither option is less personal: the family's relationship to the final work is decisive.
