Characteristics of oak wood

Oak is a very dense hardwood, dark in colour, with a clearly visible grain. It is the traditional wood associated with solemnity and longevity.

The weight is considerable — the coffin is heavier for pallbearers to carry. In return, it is the most durable option in the standard range. For an exotic alternative, see the mahogany coffin.

Who the oak coffin suits

Oak is the choice of families who want a ceremony of the highest standard, with a quality coffin. It is included in the premium package.

It is well suited to large gatherings and extended viewings. To compare all wood types, read the coffin selection guide.

Models and personalisation

The oak coffin is available with a full lid or a window panel, quality metal handles and fine lining. The finish highlights the natural grain of the wood.

A carved cross, engraved nameplate and premium lining can be added. Personalisation details are confirmed at the time of order.
