Cathartic Caskets

A partnering project with Project660

Cathartic Caskets is a heartfelt initiative that helps grieving families honor their loved ones through personalized casket decorating kits. Designed for both metal and wooden caskets, these kits offer a creative, meaningful way to express love, remembrance, and connection—adding a personal touch to a child’s final resting place.

This hands-on activity transforms the casket into a canvas for memory and healing. It invites families—especially children—to engage with loss in a tangible, emotionally honest way, bringing the work of grief into the home, not just the funeral home.

The service is entirely donation-based and free to families. If you’re a funeral home director interested in offering these kits, we’d love to connect.

Get in touch with our team to learn more about the research behind this creative and meaningful approach to honoring loved ones.
