Title: Coffin makers.............

Have you ever wondered why there is loads of funeral directors on every street but you never see a coffin maker.

I think they are like wholesalers who make them for undertakers so they make them in factories or workshops like.

I have never seen 'Coffins R Us' or 'Coffins to go' or 'Coffinland' or 'World of Coffins' or Kwik Koffins'.

Nor have I.  Maybe they make their own.

Make their own street?

Their own coffins.

Like Spicy says, you don't see them because generally members of the public don't pop out to buy a coffin.

My dad is a joiner and he wants to make his own coffin. The only reason he hasn't done already is because he doesn't have space in his garage to store it!

What about card board coffins?  More eco friendly.

There are very strict guidelines about coffins particularly if you are to be cremated.

They were burning a body on a pyre outside.  Shocking I thought.  Traditional ceremony they called it.

 I love that!  But I think 'Coffins To Go' would be even better, as suggested by Oldspice.
