webfact Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Mourners shocked as coffin bursts into flames three days before cremation Picture: New TV Relatives at a funeral in Thap Sakae, Prachuap Khirikhan were shocked when fire broke out in the early hours of the morning at a pavilion in a temple. Dried flowers and wreaths caught fire and a coffin containing a grandmother was damaged. It happened on Sunday at Wat Thung Putthi in Ang Thong sub-district. The coffin was in place for bathing rites ahead of the actual cremation on Wednesday. Picture: New TV Funeral director Opas Simfa said he'd never experienced this in 30 years of the business. Apparently more decorative lights short circuited. Picture: New TV But a new coffin and more expense was not required. The relatives just turned the coffin round so the undamaged side would face the mourners.

Sergeant Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I am sad to hear about this problem to the Thai family. More care needs to be done as the coffin are soaked in Kerosene. As such I am asking all if some one can help me fine a Steal Coffin shop. I know the Chinese burial in Coffin, but can not fine any shops in Bangkok. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
