How to keep a body at home – the Coffin Club Guide to What’s Allowed, What’s Helpful, and What Actually Happens

Downloadable PDF • Pay What You Can

The Coffin Club guide to what’s allowed, what’s helpful, and what actually happens.
Warm, honest, practical — and gently reassuring.

Yes, it’s legal. Yes, you can. And no, it’s not weird.
This guide walks you through what to do if you want to keep your person at home after they die — whether for a few hours or a few days. From how to keep them cool, to what to expect, to what to say to the neighbours.

Written with warmth, clarity, and a good dash of custard cream energy.

Download for whatever you can afford — even less than the price of a coffee.
