How to Make the Quick Coffin

Last Things: Alternatives at the End of Life

Materials:  

6 – 1 x 10 x8′
4 – 1 x 8 x 10′
2 – 1 x 3 x 8′ or 1 – 1 x 6 x 8′ ripped in half
1 – 1 x 4 x 6′
1 – 2 x 2 x 8′
1 lb. – 2″ screws (I like the 1 ¾” GRK screws. They are brass-colored and the head is decorative.)
18 – 1-1/4″ screws (or 1 3/8″ GRKs)

The dimensions in these instructions will make a coffin with inside measurements of 78″ long, 22 ½” wide and 14 ½” deep.  The width and depth measurements work for most people, and the length should be about four inches longer than the person is tall.
