French designer, Arthur Tricheliu has created a sustainable and user friendly coffin concept for pets. Designed with the intent of helping children deal with their loss, the coffin has incorporated a planter on the lid. After the coffin is 'planted' , a tree can grow in memory of the pet.
While similar products have been proposed for the burial of cremated remains, this is the first I've seen designed for the intact burial of pets. The round design will be appreciated by anyone who has experienced burying a pet on their own; a curled up position is sensible for pets and comforting for their human survivors.
This kind of coffin would be more appropriate for burying on one's one land than at a formal pet cemetery. Certainly not everyone wants to bury their own pet, but for those who do, Mr. Tricheliu's design would allow for real participation, and the comfort of an enclosed container, in an earth and pocketbook friendly product.
The coffins are still just a concept, but I can easily see the addition of a smaller model for use with cremated remains, and opportunities to market to both pet stores, veterinarians and pet funeral providers.
