Suriya Heep Sop (Suriya Coffin) will build a coffin for Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana.
Measuring 2.19 metres in length and 26 inches wide, the coffin will be made of 100-year-old golden teakwood painted in purple oak.
It will be built in the Louis style with a movable throne and featuring golden walnut buttons.
Company owner Pornthep Suriya said the coffin would be specially decorated with rose carvings and the inside would be covered by silk in a golden cream colour.
He said the coffin's design would be similar to that of the coffin built for the Princess Mother.
Pornthep said it was an honour to receive royal grace from HM the King to do the work. Suriya Coffin has previously built coffins for HRH Princess Sri Nagarindra, Mom Luang Bua Kitiyakara (mother of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit) and Khun Poom Jensen (grandson of His Majesty the King).
Culture Minister Khunying Kaisri Sri-aroon said the ministry would consult with the Bureau of the Royal Household before appointing the Fine Art Department to design a royal cremation building for the Princess.
Arvudh Ngernchuklin, the former director of the Fine Art Department who designed the royal cremation building for HRH Princess Sri Nagarindra, said the department had prepared all information and would be ready to start work as soon as it is appointed.
Meanwhile hundreds of people, all dressed in black, flocked to Siriraj Hospital on Wednesday to pay tribute to HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana who passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The funeral procession of the late princess from the hospital, where she had been treated for cancer since June, to the Royal Palace is scheduled to start at about 3pm. Many people have already lined the streets for the procession.
Many were in tears as they read the announcement of the Royal Household Bureau that the princess had passed away.
Some wept upon looking at the picture of the princess in the hospital's main hall.
In the morning, hospital officials decorated the building with blackandwhite cloth and prepared the venue to facilitate crowds of mourners.
At the Saha Thai Samakhom Pavilion of the Royal Palace, dozens of people waited to attend the bathing rite for the public that commenced at 1pm.
HM the King granted permission for this rite for the public for his elder sister.
Earlier Dr Teerawat Kulthanan, dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Mahidol University, said that Princess Galyani had passed away peacefully.
"Their Majesties the King and the Queen and other members of the royal family had visited and attended to the princess. The princess passed away peacefully, which was considered best," the doctor said.
Team of doctors, from all branches of medicine, used their best efforts in treating the princess so that she would not suffer pain.
