Goh Khuay Par has spent more than five decades making traditional Chinese coffins called Mei Hua in Malaysia, carrying on a family craft passed down through three generations.
Each coffin is made by hand and requires many days of work. Years ago, when the workshop had more craftsmen and more orders, they could turn out up to five a month. These days Goh, 69, and his brother Goh Khuay Hou, 72, make about two every six to seven weeks.
