Non-Hmong Caskets
Most families select caskets for their beauty and finish. But there are a lot of little things about high-quality caskets that most people never notice- and that frankly meant to stand out.
Details in design, construction and finish are meant to enhance the display of the casket in a attractive and dignified manner and to keep the tasks involved in handling, closing and transport to a smooth minimum. These are details that all good caskets share.
Metal Caskets
There are many different types of metal caskets, and each type has it's own unique features and advantages.
Bronze, copper and stainless steel are considered semi-precious metals. Steel caskets are categorized based on the thickness of the material used (e.g., 16-gauge steel, 18-gauge steel and 20-gauge steel).
* Metal Caskets Are Available Upon Request
Hardwood Caskets
The oldest material known to man makes it a natural and environmentally sound choice when selecting a casket. Hardwood is also strong, beautiful and shock-resistant. And just as no two pieces of hardwood are exactly the same, each casket handcrafted of hardwood has its own, warming identity. Choosing a hardwood casket also leaves a legacy for the next generation because wood is a renewable resource.
The most popular species of hardwood caskets are:
