Types of Wood

The caskets pictured on this page are made out of yellow pine.  However, other woods, such as oak or mesquite, are available upon request.  You may even choose to provide the wood for your casket, such as weathered barn wood or lumber that has been milled from your own property.   For information about stains and finishes that can enhance the natural beauty of the wood, click Finishes & Lining.
