Our coffin range

Choosing a coffin, gently and simply.

From classic finishes to solid timber, natural woven designs and elegant caskets, our range has something to suit every person and every budget. We’ll guide you through the choices — there’s never any pressure.

A little guidance

Coffin or casket — what’s the difference?

CoffinThe traditional six-sided shape, wider at the shoulders and tapering at the head and feet.
CasketA rectangular shape, often with a hinged half-lid so the upper part can be opened for viewing.

There’s no right or wrong choice. Many families choose something that reflects the person — a favourite colour, a natural material, or simply a style that feels right. Some choices suit burial better than cremation — steel caskets, for example, are for burial only — and we’ll happily explain the options when we meet.

Choosing The Gentle Way?

You may not need to buy a coffin at all.

With The Gentle Way, we provide a beautiful rental casket for the funeral service, for a small charge — so nothing is bought simply to be destroyed.
