Burial in a coffin
Coffins: From classic to close to nature
Classic coffins
For many families, a classic wooden coffin is the right choice. We help you find the right model—whether simple and understated or designed with personal details. We advise you calmly and without hidden costs.
With a burial, the coffin is laid directly in the ground. With a cremation, it is cremated together with the deceased person. In both cases, the coffin accompanies the deceased person on their final journey.
Woven willow coffins. Handmade in England, natural and unique.
Our willow coffins are handmade in England by Sophia and Aby. Each coffin is one of a kind—woven from natural willow and lined with linen and cotton. When buried, nothing harmful is left behind. The coffin fully returns to the earth.
You can freely choose colours, shapes and decorations: flowers, ribbons, symbols. The coffin becomes what the deceased person was like.
The willow coffin is particularly well suited to a tree burial or a burial. If you want a farewell that is as close to nature as possible, this is the right choice.
Burial in an urn
Urns: Handmade, personal, distinctive
Ceramic urns. Each one is unique.
Our ceramic urns are individually made with loving craftsmanship. You can freely choose colours, inscriptions, motifs and details. Together with you, we create an urn that tells the personal story of the deceased person.
Whether delicate patterns, a lifeline, a symbol or a letter—each urn receives something that belongs only to this person.
At Atelier Magnolia, we understand how important it is to shape a farewell entirely according to your wishes and the personality of your loved one. That is why we warmly invite you to talk with us.
Personal consultation
A coffin and an urn are not products you simply choose. They are part of the farewell. We take time for you, show you the options, and together we find what fits.
Please do not hesitate to contact us. In an open and empathetic conversation, we will find the way together to make farewell and remembrance special and unique. Come to Atelier Magnolia at Anklamer Straße 38 in Berlin-Mitte, call us or write to us. We are here for you.
The urn for A.K.
When the poet A.K. died, her daughter wanted a keepsake to remember her mother by. We took the last page of her book and folded it into a rose. Then we asked the daughter to draw her mother’s life as a line—high and low, free and honest. We engraved this line into the ceramic urn.
The urn for P.D.
Mr P.D. loved books. When he died, the family decided to have letters engraved on the urn as a symbol of his life. Each letter stands for a title, a story, a part of his life.
Urns are used for a cremation, a sea burial, a tree burial or an Oasis of Eternity burial.
