Burial Caskets

Whether you are pre-planning for yourself or choosing for a loved one, a casket selection is a very personal decision and an expression of your feelings. A casket that reflects the personality and taste of your loved one can be your final tribute to their life. We understand these needs and offer a wide variety of caskets that can help make your selection truly personal.

Two Types of Caskets

Metal caskets — including those made from bronze, copper, stainless steel and steel — are known for their unique   finishes. Bronze and copper are among the most durable and beautiful of metals; both are naturally non-rusting. Stainless and carbon steel caskets come in a variety of grades, gauges, styles and finishes.

Hardwood caskets include a variety of species: mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, oak, pecan, poplar and pine.  These caskets are the choice of families who appreciate and cherish the qualities of natural wood. The warmth, beauty and personality it brings to fine furniture ideally suits it for the construction of quality caskets.

The Beauty of Metal
Bronze and Copper
For thousands of years, craftsmen and artisans have appreciated the beauty of bronze and copper. Bronze and copper are among the most durable of metals, which makes them ideal for the construction of caskets.

Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel
Stainless steel caskets are available in a variety of grades, finishes and styles. Steel caskets offer a range of colors, finishes and thicknesses ranging from 16 gauge (thicker) to 20 gauge (thinner).
 

Wood Caskets
Wood caskets are the choice of families who appreciate and cherish the qualities of natural wood. The warmth, beauty and personality it brings to fine furniture makes this material ideally suited for caskets as well.

All Wood Construction

Are metal free, allowing for the natural return to the earth.

Cloth Covered Caskets
Cloth covered caskets are made from corrugated fiberboard, pressed wood or softwoods, which are then covered with cloth and contain finished interiors.
As a result of the construction methods and materials used in their manufacturing process, cloth covered caskets are modestly priced and offer an economical choice for families.

Cremation Caskets
