Whilst funerals can be quite a sombre occasion for many, a unique request from one Huddersfield family for a custom-made, coloured-in coffin was the perfect way for them to celebrate their loved one’s life.
When Ian Fellows died at the age of 80, his Huddersfield-based children Alison and Peter knew they wanted a service that would celebrate his love for art while also being eco-friendly. Ian loved arts and crafts his entire life and enjoyed making gifts for loved ones. As he got older and developed Alzheimer’s, he fell in love with colouring-in – going through hundreds of books and thousands of felt tip pens.
Having such a personal touch brought a smile to the faces of people we drove past, and many of the people at the service commented how touched they were. “No family looks forward to the funeral of a loved one, but having Dad’s coffin decorated with his art certainly brought a touch of joy and happiness to the day. For the family, it brought a little bit of happiness to a day we were dreading.
