The making of it

The planted setting

A wooden structure clad in preserved moss, topped with clear acrylic panels: Le Sous-bois turns the L'Universel catafalque into a ceremony scene inspired by the living world.

Built-in mirrors multiply the planting: once L'Universel is in place, the coffin appears to rest on a bed of greenery.

Its transparent top holds flowers, photographs or keepsakes, for a free and personal arrangement.

Features

A staging thought through in detail

Preserved moss

A lasting, maintenance-free planting that brings the living world into the heart of the ceremony.

Transparent top

Made to hold the objects that tell a life, whether in a spare arrangement or a richer staging.

Adaptable presentation

The coffin is presented lengthways or crossways, according to the layout and size of your hall.

Rear opening

L'Universel slides straight in: the coffin stays where it is, from the funeral lounge to the ceremony, with no transfer.

The handling

Installed without transferring the coffin

Thanks to its ingenious rear opening, Le Sous-bois receives the L'Universel catafalque with complete simplicity, without handling the coffin at all.

The coffin stays in place throughout, from the funeral lounge to the ceremony hall: a natural, respectful transition between the spaces of remembrance and tribute.

The pairing

Designed for L'Universel

Le Sous-bois turns L'Universel into a space of remembrance in its own right.

In the ceremony hall as in the funeral lounge, it receives L'Universel directly, with no transfer of the coffin. A solution designed to make your teams' work easier and to enrich the experience for families.

A Neorite innovation

A staging of the living world

Le Sous-bois brings nature into the space of the final tribute. Moss, light and transparency compose a calm setting, halfway between a garden and a sanctuary.

A way of giving form to the ritual, while leaving each family free to place their own story within it.
