Abstract
A coffin or container that can be erected or assembled from a substantially knock down or flat state, which includes: a primary tension panel; a pair of side panels; and a pair of end panels; wherein, in an assembled form, an end of each said side panel is releasably attached to each end panel via complementary engaging features on each side panel to define a substantially quadrilateral wall, such that said primary tension panel, when located substantially within said wall, places at least said side panels in tension to thereby retain said primary tension panel within said wall and define, at least in part, a cavity.
