Coffin & Casket Selection.

Caskets are rectangular in shape and are available in a choice of metal or timber and in a wide variety of colours and finishes. Traditionally, a casket is designed with either a half or full-length hinged lid that can be completely raised. 

Coffins are tapered at the head and foot but wider at the shoulders. A coffin is always constructed with a full-length lid, which lifts off completely. A simple, contemporary lid design may have a flat finish, while some of the finest lids have single, double or triple raised tiers. Coffins are available in solid wood, timber veneered and custom wood/particle board.

These coffins and caskets seek to minimise the environmental impact of the funeral service. We can offer a range of eco-friendly options using untreated timbers, basketry wicker, fully biodegradable materials, lined with natural unbleached cotton calico fabrics.

Themes of Life offers an extensive range of image coffins for families wanting to add their personal touch. Families can also supply their own images to create a custom design coffin that helps portray a wonderful story. The Themes of Life range of composite board coffins are PVC-Free Vinyl Wrapped MDF, Cremator Friendly and available in cleat or silver plastic handles.
