Caskets, sometimes referred to as coffins, are designed to provide a resting place for the deceased whether cremation or burial is chosen. Caskets may vary dramatically in design, complexity and price. 

Caskets are typically made of metal, wood or fiberboard.

Providence Funeral Homes offers a wide selection of funeral and cremation merchandise to meet the personalized needs of all families.

Metal Caskets:

The idea of a metal casket is simply to provide an alternative to either wood or cloth.  

Metal caskets come in a variety of elegant colors and designs composed of steel, stainless steel, bronze or copper. They offer many personalized features as well as durability.

Wood Caskets:

Wood caskets are chosen by those who appreciate and cherish the qualities of natural wood.  Wood caskets may be constructed from the various species of wood such as mahogany, oak, cherry and walnut.   Like metal caskets, wood caskets offer many personalized features that range from simple pine to elegant hand crafted mahogany .

Cloth Caskets:

Cloth caskets are constructed of wood composite and corrugated material with a cloth covering.  Cloth caskets provide an economical, yet dignified, alternative for families to choose from.

Cremation Caskets:

Cremation caskets are containers which are specifically made for the purpose of cremation.   They are constructed of wood or wood products and are designed to be totally consumed during the cremation process.    Cremation caskets may be quite elaborate, composed of solid wood with velvet interiors; or, very simple with no interior.
