Choosing a Coffin or Casket For many, this is a significant part of planning the funeral. The difference between coffins and caskets is: - A coffin is wider at the shoulders and tapers to the foot and is made of custom wood, solid timber or solid wood.
- A casket is rectangular in shape, has a hinged lid and can be provided in custom wood or solid wood. All caskets and coffins are quality pieces.
The individual selection is an important one governed entirely by good judgment and in accordance with the family’s wishes and circumstances. Occasionally, a family may request a special design, shape or color for a coffin or casket. Whenever possible we try to meet all requests although variations may cause small delays for the funeral.
