I was thinking about what words I'd have printed on the my headstone. "Here ferments the creator of Funeography, we think she liked her wine too much".

I returned on the Saturday via invite from the owner of Crazy Coffins David Crampton. A champagne reception no less. It was a real pleasure to meet him and we had a chance to discuss what sort of coffin I would like. I told him that perhaps I should have a camera, shouldn't I?
But then I started to think of the point of crazy coffins. To personalise the experience and choose something that really reflects who you are, perhaps what people may associate with you the most.
Funeography is what I do, but not necessarily who I am. I suggested a long red fingernail, made of 100 percent biodegradable material of course, as my nails over many years have become a statement, perhaps a small representation of me. I'm very often complemented on my work which is a wonderful thing and then it's usually followed up with; "How do you work with those nails"? David said they hadn't had a fingernail request as of yet.
