Coffin Clubs, a concept that originated in New Zealand, have become a global phenomenon, with groups forming in various countries to allow people, particularly the elderly, to create and personalise their own coffins.
The first Coffin Club was established in Rotorua, New Zealand, in 2010 by a former palliative care nurse named Katie Williams . This innovative idea quickly gained traction, and as of the latest reports, there are now a dozen Coffin Clubs operating across both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. These clubs have not only provided a cost-effective solution for end-of-life preparations, with homemade coffins costing just NZ$250, but they have also fostered a sense of community among members.
