Caskets

    In casket selection, there are basically two things to consider: the material for the exterior of the casket and the motif of the interior.

    Caskets are made of either metal or wood, and with both types of materials, the choices are extensive.  Most metal caskets are fabricated from bronze, cooper, stainless steel, or carbon steel.  They are extremely durable and offer many beautiful finishes.  Rich wood caskets are usually crafted from decorative woods such as cherry, maple, walnut, oak, and mahogany, among others.  These are generally chosen by families who appreciate the warmth and beauty of wood craftsmanship.

    The other decision you will make concerns the casket interior.  Crepe lining and upholstery in many color choices are generally standard, but other fabrics are available.  In addition, interior panels can be customized with embroidery, inset panels, or other motifs that reflect a person's profession, interest in nature, religious faith, or hobby, such as golf or fishing.  There are many ways you can make the interior of the casket as personal as the individual.

    The purpose of a funeral is to remember an individual's life.  That is why we offer a wide selection of casket materials and interior appointments appropriate to all preferences and all budgets.  Our selection room employs quarter-cut casket models allowing us to show a greater variety of casket designs and colors.  We have over 34 metal and hardwood caskets displayed.
