Caskets

Caskets (coffins) are available in a variety of styles, materials, colours and sizes. The basic shape is either rectangular or the traditional coffin shape – wider at the shoulders and narrow at the feet. Caskets are made of painted (almost any colour) custom wood, veneered custom wood, solid timber or metal.

Caskets are ‘trimmed’ with an interior lining and small pillow. Handles are attached, a name plate inscribed and other fittings such as a crucifix or club emblem may be added.

Our most popular caskets have a timber veneer finish and allow for six pallbearers.
