    The Coffin already at Home10

    More files...
    Some people already have their coffin ready for use at home. They can get in in a minute. You can also take a practical approach and give the coffin a function until then, as Puck Kooij did. Her coffin still serves as a bookcase. Marjolein Keijser doesn't need a coffin in the house, but has already offered her body to Body Worlds. Then her body, stripped of skin and tissue, will probably be shown to the public in a pose chosen by the editors. Which one? She doesn't care, as long as it's not a sexually tinted pose. The people portrayed by Aukema do not have a death wish, but "when my time comes, it will come", as Ibrahim Wijbenga states. He already has his shroud in his house. The photographed people embrace life. They do not bury their heads in the sand. They are actively busy with their funeral and with their lives. The people she photographed and interviewed think it's important that the funeral fits in with the way they lived.
