In Corrie recently, one of the characters who was dying, made arrangements
for a DIY coffin to be delivered.

Does anyone know if these things are really available, and where from?

You don't need to have a coffin. Cemeteries will accept a body in a
shroud. However you can go to the following websites for info on where
to purchase coffins from about £50 upwards.

yesbut then they're not DIY, are they? :-)
