Drawings Featuring Coffins - Lay Me Down on a Bed of Roses

Buried in satin and laid on a bed of flowers, coffins serve as the final resting place for the dead. If you’ve ever been to a funeral, you may have marveled at how at peace the recently departed seem in their caskets, as if they’re in a deep and peaceful slumber. On the other hand, coffins can take on an entirely different meaning outside of wakes and funerals and conjure up images of the undead. Why is there a coffin in the corner of the room? Could this house belong to a... vampire?

From serene to slightly sinister, enjoy the range of coffin illustrations below in all their haunting beauty!
