About Jennie Barnes
Around a table with friends, the topic of funerals came up. Why can’t we have more say? Surely there are those that want to express their individuality to the last moment?
The answer for me was YES! From that conversation came the idea that I wanted to give people the opportunity to do just that!
Create your Last Expression
Dying is never our favourite topic of discussion, even though it’s the most definite. Last Expressions® has designed Australia’s first registered design Flat Pack Casket. It is our goal to give you the opportunity to add your character and essence to your final resting place. You can make it as fun or sombre, bright or calm as you want – whatever matches who you are and what you stand for in life. Why not involve your family and friends? This is an opportunity to open up that can of worms and share stories and feelings while you make your masterpiece.
The casket is a blank canvas – I hope you enjoy turning it into the essence of you.

Flat Pack Casket
Our caskets are made of pine and ply in a design that makes it easy for you to build yourself. Everything required is supplied, including easy to read instructions. Should you decide that construction is not for you, we can assemble for you.
Decorate and Personalise
The sky's the limit! Ideas are endless! Express yourself! At Last Expressions® we also offer timber tattooing for your design, or we can help with ideas. There are examples in our Gallery. Be creative, talk to our timber tattooists.
Build Your own Casket Workshop
If you are wanting some help building your casket, we offer group sessions for construction. All you need to do is register your interest in a workshop by emailing us. These can also be arranged in your area should numbers require it.
