Bronze Caskets
Bronze is a semi-precious material and an alloy of copper and either zinc or tin. It is superior to all other casket materials in strength, durability and naturally non-rusting qualities. Bronze is simply the best.
Copper Caskets
Copper is considered a precious metal and evidence of its longevity rests in the original copper roof and pipes existing in the world’s great architectural gems. Copper also has excellent resistance to corrosion and is one-third stronger than stainless steel.
Stainless Steel Caskets
Stainless Steel is an alloy of carbon steel along with chromium and nickel. This remarkable metal has exceptional strength and is resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel is used to protect equipment from the harshest of environments.
Medium Weight Steel Caskets
Carbon steel is used to build everything from automobiles to skyscrapers. We carry a wide range of steel caskets in medium weight 18 gauge steel and lightweight 20 gauge steel. The long-lasting nature of metal combined with its affordability and performance make steel caskets one of the most popular selections.
Light Weight Steel Caskets
Lightweight 20 gauge steel caskets are the most economical of metal caskets. They typically feature less ornamentation and simpler styling. Some 20 gauge models are manufactured without a rubber gasket and are referred to as non-gasketed.
