About me:
31 SKULLDUGGERY LANE is where artists Beth and Scott Berger share their wares with those who appreciate decorative & practical dark art.
All of our pieces are handmade and sometimes intentionally flawed, giving them unique character and quality. We are a "Green Company" in that we make many of our pieces from materials that we recycle such as wood and bone.

*********************
cof*fin - noun
a long, narrow box, typically of wood, in which a corpse is buried or cremated.
ORIGIN:
Middle English (in the general sense [box, chest, casket]): from Old French cofin 'little basket or case,'
from Latin cophinus.
Any box used to bury the dead in is a coffin. Use of the word "casket" in this sense began as a euphemism introduced by the undertaker's trade in North America; a "casket" was originally a box for jewellery.
Some Americans draw a distinction between "coffins" and "caskets"; for these people, a coffin is a tapered hexagonal or octagonal (also considered to be anthropodial in shape) box used for a burial. A rectangular burial box with a split lid used for viewing the deceased is called a "casket."
Receptacles for cremated human ashes (sometimes called cremains) are called urns.
A coffin may be buried in the ground directly, placed in a burial vault or cremated. The above ground burial is in a mausoleum. Often it is a large cement building at a cemetery, housing hundreds of bodies, or a small personal crypt.
*********************
Dance of Death, also variously called Danse Macabre (French), Danza Macabra (Italian and Spanish) or Totentanz (German), is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all. La Danse Macabre consists of the personified death leading a row of dancing figures from all walks of life to the grave—typically with an emperor, king, pope, monk, youngster, beautiful girl, all skeletal. They were produced to remind people of how fragile their lives were and how vain the glories of earthly life were. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest artistic examples are in a cemetery in Paris from 1424.
*********************
There is no racism on the skeletal level.
When you strip away beliefs, personality, color of skin, and musculature, we're all the same.
Skeletons are able to support tremendous weight and remain flexible in the way they work together.
Bones reminds us how strong and yet how fragile life can be.
Bones have served a utilitarian purpose for centuries by primates and humans as tools, utensils, and weapons.
Many cultures have made beautiful jewelry and sculptures from bone.
