A coffin cover (1) is provided in the form of a traditional wooden coffin or casket with base, side and end panels and a lid (2, 3, 4 and 5). The end panels (4) can be detached from the side panels (3) of the cover (1) and, on removal of the lid (5), the side and end panels (3 and 4) can be located parallel with the base panel (2) together with the lid (5) to form a flat pack. Such an arrangement has the advantage that on removal of an inner coffin made of cardboard or the like, the cover 1 can be collapsed into the flat pack and discretely removed from a crematorium. <;IMAGE>;
