FREE Ashton Coffin Display App
We upload your Ashton coffin and casket range to the app. You just login to the app, and your coffin and casket images, descriptions and your retail pricing of each product appears (once synced, it works offline, too). It also includes our unique Essence of Ceremony concept as an introduction for families.
FREE Expression Coffin signs
The signs are 100cm x 70cm and show a selection of the coffin designs in colour and high-resolution. They come complete with mounting string—ready to hang on your arrangement room or showroom wall.
FREE Timber swatches
Small sections of paper veneered MDF, timber veneer, or solid timber. These can help when explaining the different materials and colours of Ashton coffins and caskets to families.
