The Heartwood Veneer Range of traditional coffins are crafted using the finest veneered woods and highest quality finishes.

Encompassing various styles and designs, we have collated a range of coffins which will meet your needs.

Our wood veneer coffins are superbly crafted using a thin slice of real wood glued onto the surface of a wooden, MDF or chipboard base. The pieces of veneered wood are then assembled, finished and polished by hand to a produce high quality coffin. As with solid wood coffins, no two wood veneered coffins are identical as the grain of the wood veneer is unique to that particular slice of wood.

Our foil veneer wood effect coffins are crafted by gluing a simulated wood effect paper onto a chipboard or MDF base from which the coffin is then constructed.

“Think of me as one at rest,

For me you should not weep,

I have no pain, no troubled thoughts,

For I am just asleep.”
