A unique understanding of life and death: Farewell and commemoration: In the Western funeral tradition, the coffin is an important carrier for bidding farewell to the deceased. It is not just a container, but also a commemoration and respect for the life of the deceased before their death.
Coffins are also closely related to religious beliefs. In Christian culture, coffins are often decorated in a solemn and dignified style, with religious symbols such as crosses and angels carved on them, symbolizing that the deceased can ascend to heaven through faith. This decoration not only reflects blessings for the deceased, but also reflects Westerners' belief in the cycle of life and the afterlife.
As a handicraft, the design of Western coffins also reflects artistic aesthetics. From the magnificent coffins of ancient Egypt to the personalized coffins of modern times, they all demonstrate the craftsmen's pursuit of beauty and creativity.
Western coffins are very particular about material selection. The choice of different materials not only affects the appearance and texture of the coffin, but also reflects the craftsmen's profound understanding and application of materials.
Western coffins also have great artistic value in carving and decoration. Craftsmen use exquisite skills to carve exquisite patterns and symbols on the surface of coffins, which not only have decorative functions but also contain profound meanings and symbolic significance.
