Characteristics of beech wood

Beech is a dense hardwood with a fine grain and a pale reddish tone. It is harder than poplar, so the surface takes a smooth, long-lasting finish.

The weight is moderately high. Beech holds up well over time and lacquers elegantly. For a premium, darker wood, see the oak coffin.

Who the beech coffin suits

Beech is frequently chosen for traditional ceremonies when the family wants a solid, fine-looking wood without reaching the price of oak or mahogany. It appears in traditional and premium packages.

The smooth, pale surface suits open-casket viewings. For a complete selection guide, read how to choose a coffin.

Models and personalisation

The beech coffin is available with a full lid or a window panel, textile lining and metal handles. The finish can be natural or lightly tinted in warm tones.

A cross, nameplate and alternative lining can be added on request. See the full range on the coffins page.
