Casket Features
The casket, rectangular in profile, bears a strong, bold appearance and at the same time encourages elegant and classical designs.

Traditionally, a casket is designed with a full-length lid, full couch, or a lid divided into two parts, half couch. At the time of a viewing a loved one, the half couch gives you the option to raise only one section of the lid, whereas the full couch lid can only be raised as one complete lid. The choice is a personal one and depends upon your needs.

Our caskets are hand crafted by specialists using solid timber of a premium grade and the interior of each casket is delicately draped in satin.

Coffin Features
Designed to be wider at the shoulders and tapering to each end, a coffin is always constructed with a full-length lid.

The value and appearance of a coffin greatly depends upon the complexity of the design and the materials used in its construction.

A coffin may be produced from solid timber, craftwood, particleboard, or a combination of these materials and may have a unique lid design. A basic design may only have a flat lid, while one of the finest coffins may have a triple raised lid (three tiers). Single raised and double raised lid designs are also available in our range.

Solid Timber
The strength, warmth and beauty of solid timber are preferred by those who appreciate the natural, unique qualities of wood and the finer things in life.

The solid timber used to craft our coffins and caskets is high grade cedar, mahogany and plantation radiata pine.

Plywood
Manufactured from veneers of solid timber adhered together, plywood is a high strength and durable sheet of board. The grade of plywood our company uses to construct the bottom of all solid timber caskets is of a waterproof nature.

Craftwood
Craftwood is the result of a complicated process where the wood is broken down into its fibre and then pressed into a smooth board.

As craftwood does not have a timber grain on its surface a paper veneer bearing a timber grain design or a solid timber veneer is glued to the board. Solid timber veneer is more valuable and more authentic than paper veneer.

Particleboard
Chips of timber are pressed together into a sheet of board. As with craftwood, particleboard does not have a timber grain on its surface, therefore, a paper veneer bearing a timber grain design or a solid timber veneer is glued to the board.
