A Casket or Urn can be as simple or unique as you would like. Talk to our team about the wide variety of options available.

Caskets

Picture
We offer a wide range of caskets, some made from solid wood, including rimu, macrocarpa, mahogany and pine, and others constructed from particle-board or medium-density fibreboard (MDF). Caskets also come in a range of veneers and finishes. They usually have either a flat or a raised lid and are polished to a high gloss. Caskets can be drawn or written on, decorated or painted.

​If you choose, you could have a casket painted in any of these Resene Fashion colours. We will need several days notices for this customised service.

Picture
We are delighted to offer ecologically friendly caskets and urns. One of our latest caskets is made of woven willow, with a matching urn, if required. We also provide fully customised caskets decorated in the artwork of your choice and your design. These caskets have vinyl transfers applied to them. You can have a casket designed to reflect their passion for music, golf or their favourite holiday spot. If you don’t see what you want in our casket showroom, we’re happy to order it especially for you.

Urns

Picture
We stock a good selection of urns, many of which have matching caskets. We can also order an urn of your choice if we do not have it in stock. 

If you have chosen to scatter ashes, you may wish to consider our range of colourful and attractive Scatter Tubes. Ashes can be evenly divided amongst several containers so that every family member and friend can participate in a scattering of ashes ceremony. 
Our Funeral directors are always available to assist you and to answer any questions. 
​
You are welcome to contact us anytime and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
