Coffins & Caskets

Choosing a coffin or casket

A coffin is tapered at the shoulder with a removable lid. A casket is rectangular in shape and has a hinged lid. Whilst a coffin or casket plays a practical role of holding the body of the person who has died, it can also play an important part in the way we memorialise and celebrate the life of a loved one. 

We’re With You Every Step of The Way

Choosing a coffin or casket is an important aspect of arranging a funeral. We therefore offer a wide range of coffins and caskets which vary in many ways, including their shape, construction, design, workmanship, colour and other components, such as the handles and drapery. To make a choice that best meets your family’s needs, our coffins and caskets are grouped into the following categories:

 

Metal Caskets

Traditionally, a casket is designed with either a half or full-length hinged lid that can be completely raised. Our range of exceptional quality metal ‘American Style’ caskets, offering a distinctive and elegant feel to any funeral arrangement. Our Legacy Tribute metal caskets are made in North America from 48 oz Solid Bronze, 18 Gauge Steel or 20 Gauge Steel.

Solid Wood Caskets

Our Solid Timber caskets are crafted from a selection of high grade Tasmanian Blackwood, Cedar, Jarrah, American Oak, and plantation grown Radiata Pine. The Legacy Tribute range is made in North America from Mahogany, Cherry, Maple, Oak, and Poplar.

Veneer Coffins

Our Timber Veneered coffins are constructed with timber veneer bonded to Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF). This allows us to produce the visual appeal of solid timber at a much lower price.

Our Composite Board coffins are constructed with MDF or particleboard and either have a paper veneer, lacquered, or stained finish.
