Caskets are used to hold the body during visitations and funeral services. They may be made of wood or metal and are available in a wide range of styles and prices.
Wooden caskets are constructed of mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, oak, pine and poplar. The cost of hardwood caskets varies according to the choice of wood, the material for lining the interior and the details of craftsmanship. Wooden caskets, like fine furniture, have a natural warmth and beauty.
Metal caskets are made of bronze, copper or steel. Price differences between metal caskets are determined by the choice and thickness of the metal, the material for lining the interior and ways used to seal outside elements. Metal caskets are valued for their beautiful finish, strength, durability and ability to keep out grave elements.
People select caskets to express their preferences in colors and design, to reflect their values and to enhance the memory of the deceased. If you have questions concerning caskets we will be able to show the choices available. |
