Wood Caskets

Mahogany

Mahogany is used extensively for high-grade furniture and cabinetry. It has a well-earned reputation because of its attractive grain pattern and beautiful natural luster.

Walnut

Considered a wood of beauty, walnut boasts a striking grain color and pattern. Walnut is warm and inviting, dignified and elegant, and engenders a pride of ownership. Having a natural lustrous patina, walnut is also known for its strength and durability.

Maple

Maple is valued for its strength, wear resistance and beauty, making it a popular choice for flooring, especially for heavily trafficked areas such as a ballroom. But it’s also a popular material used in making caskets. Maple is evenly textured with a natural luster. While the grain is usually straight, it can also be wavy or curly.

Pine

Pine has been popular since colonial times. There are nearly 100 species of pine, ranging in color from pale yellow to light brown. Though not technically classified as a “hardwood,” it is considered to be a durable wood, usually straight grained with an even texture.

Ash

Ash is a heavy, hard, strong, stiff wood that is also highly shock-resistant.Its color ranges from nearly white (sapwood) to light brown to pale yellow streaked with brown. It's straight-grained with a coarse, even texture. Ash is used to manufacture caskets, sporting equipment (e.g., baseball bats), furniture, flooring, cabinetry, paneling, doors and other construction, and is also particularly well-suited for food and liquid containers since it has no taste or odor.

Select Hardwood

Hardwood is a cost effective, yet attractive, solid wood product made from select wood species including poplar and cottonwood.
