I built a casket back a few years ago, it was made from solid oak and a little bit of cherry. It turned out absolutely beautiful, the upholstery proved to be the real challenge, my wife and I used 22 yards of high sheen white satin to line the inside and the bottom of the lid halves. It was what is known in the industry as a "half couch," that being said, the lid is in two pieces. It was a lot of work, we ended up giving it away to a woman who passed away in our church who had no family and very little money. She had no idea about the casket and on her deathbed she said that the Lord had shown her that someone in the church was going to give her a casket to be buried in. She said that she was so afraid that she might be cremated because she didn't have the money for a casket. You can never tell me that God doesn't care for the little things just as much as He does the big things.
Recently we pre-purchased the "Lynn" model, which is solid poplar with a mahogany finish. It is beautiful - the craftsmanship obvious. The company was accomadating to our request for rosetan velvet instead of the standard crepe lining. With the flood of Chinese caskets in the market, I recommend looking into this American owned and American made company.
Hey, imagine US manufactures taking pride in their products and making REAL stuff for a change that equaled the quality of workmanship in this video. Its good to dream!
Years ago I worked part-time for a company that amongst other things made fiberglass caskets. New England Casket Co. which is in this video was one of our best customers!
Considering I worked at Batesvill casket for many years, there are some amazing simularites. This leads me to believe Batesvill is outsourcing some of it's product line to smaller outfits.
Jacob Smith The name sounds familar. Which dept. did he work & the years he worked there. I worked there from 1980-85 & again from 1992-2005(when they closed)
I've been thinking of building my own casket, but my wife gives me grief about it. She says I just want to die on her. My great uncle built his own casket and was in the back of the shop for over 40 years before he passed away. It saved my great aunt a lot of money.
If you notice that 9 minutes and 20 seconds these guys don't have any respirators on and they are spraying this polyurethane and stain without respirators they better be building their own self one if they keep doing that
Yeah, before they’re six feet under.And please! Stop playing that Charlie Brown music ! Just cremate me and scatter my remains over Mount Everest! If that fails, then eject me out of a pod like the Enterprise crew did for Spock on Star Trek II Wrath of Khan!😂😂😂😂
Furniture is here for only a short time, the casket is for eternity in the sealed vaults they are placed in. Price per year of use is very, very small :)
Redwood, I am thinking of making it by the cardboard for myself. Because after I am gone, they will put me in the oven... so why bother wasting some good lumber and money for. Most people receiving the ash of their love ones, thinking and believing that the ash was the ash of their fathers or mothers or spouses etc, but to me they were foolishly trusted those funeral homes.
thangquocnguyenmdp the funeral home supplies the cardboard box for cremations as part of the cost. If you really want to save your family some money, build a real casket for the viewing and service. They charge crazy amounts for renting those.
Good idea - old pallets, Hmmm?. The wood is biodegradable. Awesome DIY project. Burlap bags - 100% biodegradable, and ECO friendly! Humans? -- return to dust, just as it should be! Let's ALL get one! Just a couple of questions, do you plan to use dovetail construction, instead of nails?, and what about the lid? Maybe wooden dowels, or something like that?

I think they should make caskets in tubular form so the dead could be buried in a vertical position. Just auger out a hole and plant the departed. Save a lot of space in cemeteries.
You can rent a casket and you can have a pine box or cardboard that goes inside the rental, here in Canada the price varies $ 800.00 to $1000.00 if you buy a hardwood casket you can pay up to $10,000 plus other services

Green burials are best. Thousands of hardwood trees are cut each year to make hardwood caskets, which are either burnt in a cremation or rot in the ground. Thousands of gallons of embalming fluid eventually leech into the ground, poisoning the soil. With green burial, there's no embalming and the body is simply wrapped in a plain cotton shroud and interred in a plain pine box or a basket like container made of reeds using no nails or other metal. Also, there's no large tombstones, just a simple small rock or just a GPS marker. The cemeteries are lovely meadows. Definitely environmentally friendly.
@ike fun not ALL states. It varies by county and state. It also depends on TYPE of burial and where the water table levels are. Do keep up! "Green" cemeteries have totally different requirements
Complete building burnt down during 9 alarm fire about 1 month ago. Owner is going to rebuild and all employees will go back with them great to work for.

BTW: I’m a veggie farmer also but I’m out in NC but Mother Nature isn’t being very nice to us this year with all the rain. We can’t get in the fields without sinking. Take care my friend.
All that work and works of art for three days to rot in the ground for a 10.000.00 casket what a waste couple sheets of plywood or thousands casket both guys are dead and don’t care.

Let it burn down. Grandma and my father worked for this company. I grew up without a father home growing up because he worked the night shift. As a very young child I took tours of the factory as often as I could just because I wanted the same career my father had. I job shadowed for this place in high school it's achieved in the local paper. Applied so many times I lost count. Remember getting turned down after 2nd interview at the age of 24. It hurt so hard the grief and frustration made me cry all the way to new Mexico driving a big rig because there was nothing else to get to do here. Eventually lost my mind and went insane. One day I snapped and maneuvered the trailer wheels afire and off onto a few illegal immigrants. I lost my sanity and will to live because of being denied the chance to have something rare. Words can't decribe but this company has some admirable benefits that are rare and non momentary something 8 years of college cannot guarantee.
If they sold the business how much and who who would buy, versus collecting insurance. Did somebody set that wood on fire on the embossing machine? The video shows lots and lots of employees in the building but at the time of the fire was there even a handful?

Damn shame to allow that artistry to decay. Almost seems better to incinerate it instead. One last hurrah, and up in flames so to speak. At least that exit would be somewhat appropriate for the grieving remainder. Not so much burn, but rather a semblance of the personality now gone, "its better to burn out than to fade away" aspect. I really prefer the place of rest thing as i'm a reflective person, but it does make a poetic sense to release the deceased wholesale in a blast of fire into the nexus eterne. Peace and keep up the good work, it is invaluable and exquisitely necessary.

I Live in the UK, There is nothing high class about these caskets aqt all they are all made of pine , when some are pretending to be higher class wood. the charges funeral homes over there is extortionate when they are only worth three hundred $ at most.your funeral services need a good talking too so they stop over charging people and at the most harrowing time when losing a loved one. it is also likes this in the UK

I'm willing to bet that the caskets in the funeral home's catalog are priced just as high or higher than this one, with much less craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Already prepared my furnal. Urne cost $110.00 My body will be donated to University of Ut for science. They then will take care of my ashes send them to my family. My family friends will do small memorial. No mortuary involved.
The tree from which this beautiful timber came from took well over a hundred years to grow, a much better use for it would be to make an item of furniture to the same high standard that would be used and admired for decades to come, to bury it in the ground to rot away is a wicked waste in my opinion, all caskets should be made from imitation material which would look just as good without the waste or expense

I think they should make caskets in tubular form so the dead could be buried in a vertical position. Just auger out a hole and plant the departed. Save a lot of space in cemeteries.
And if they bury you shallow enough, the mowers can give you a haircut weekly!
They could stack them 3 or 4 deep would only be about 25 feet deep. Only wasting a square foot of land.
Like they did in Motel Hell"

I Live in the UK, There is nothing high class about these caskets aqt all they are all made of pine , when some are pretending to be higher class wood. the charges funeral homes over there is extortionate when they are only worth three hundred $ at most.your funeral services need a good talking too so they stop over charging people and at the most harrowing time when losing a loved one. it is also likes this in the UK
put ur head back in the sand...in the US u don't have to buy from the funeral home..and they are all kinds of wood...
Put some Mahogany stain on that pine and charge $500 more for the casket- it's the American way. ☺
Hey-David Kozal! And OTHERS: I don't want a funeral-I'll probably survive all of em anyway; I'm a Taurus and we not only never give UP, but we're extremely determined ! i WANT a book case I can enjoy, and jump into when the time comes-a SHIPPING BOX TO BACK HOME! I'm a lady who loves wood-want a violin placed under my left arm and my guitar under my right-None of this hand-holding pre-arranged placement for ME! But PINE will be expensive-and shipping the old bones from California will be expensive! I saw a video of another wood-crafter in No. Carolina, who made BOOK-CASES that disassemble-or "reassemble" AS caskets, but I can't find him anymore! I've read the Bible several times , and I still don't understand why from "dus to dust, and ashes to ashes" should mean cremation-The Egyptians only had to cover themselves with CLAY and become lowered into the KILN for their final resting spots ? Being a sculptor, I kind'a like that idea-then the family can fight over the STATUE instead of little pots flll of ashes, right ? ANY SUGGESTIONS? I'm "dead-serious" too.
"Grounded" one might say! Thanks for any suggestions "LyndaFayeSmusic@Gmail.com"
For what much effort? At today's funeral prices, you lose the desire to die.
The craftsmanship and expense to throw it in the ground....holy shit
I'm willing to bet that the caskets in the funeral home's catalog are priced just as high or higher than this one, with much less craftsmanship and attention to detail.
I wonder how they put in a warranty claim, and if there's been any recalls?
can't wait! just dying to get one!
I'M DYING TO GET ONE OF THESE.
LETS START A ME TOO MOVEMENT ON THIS LOL
2019 guys
Already prepared my furnal.
Urne cost $110.00
My body will be donated to University of Ut for science.
They then will take care of my ashes send them to my family.
My family friends will do small memorial.
No mortuary involved.
The tree from which this beautiful timber came from took well over a hundred years to grow, a much better use for it would be to make an item of furniture to the same high standard that would be used and admired for decades to come, to bury it in the ground to rot away is a wicked waste in my opinion, all caskets should be made from imitation material which would look just as good without the waste or expense
I absolutely Agree!
Thats why islam just buries bodies wrapped in like shroud or smth (im not muslim). This is just waste of wood
