Characteristics of poplar wood

Poplar is a pale-coloured wood with a higher density than pine. Its surface is more uniform with fewer knots, so the finish comes out cleaner and more refined.

The weight remains moderate — the coffin is comfortable for pallbearers to carry. Poplar can be matt- or gloss-lacquered to preference. For a more affordable wood, see the pine coffin.

Who the poplar coffin suits

Poplar is the right choice when the family wants a well-presented coffin without moving up to premium hardwood prices. It is frequently included in the the traditional option.

It is a balanced option for traditional Orthodox ceremonies, including home or chapel viewings. Poplar is also accepted for cremation, just like pine — see the the comparison guide.

Models and personalisation

An applied cross, nameplate and alternative lining can be added. Read the coffin selection guide for further guidance.
