PRICES · COFFINS
A coffin costs between 600 and 6,500 lei in 2026, depending on wood type, dimensions, and finish. Spruce models start at 800 lei; premium mahogany or walnut coffins reach 6,500 lei.
Coffin pricing starts with the wood. Lightweight softwoods such as spruce are the most affordable. Hardwoods — oak, mahogany, walnut — cost several times more because the material and craftsmanship are more expensive.
Dimensions, finish, and lining also affect the price. A standard coffin costs less than an oversized model or one with silk lining. The full range by wood type is in the table below.
The coffin typically represents one-fifth to one-third of the total cost of a standard funeral. The rest covers transport, preparation of the deceased, the ceremony, the wreath, and the wake meal.
A more expensive coffin therefore does not dramatically raise the total. For a full cost breakdown, see how much a funeral costs or use the funeral cost calculator.
PRICE TABLE · INDICATIVE
| Coffin type | Material | Approximate price |
|---|---|---|
| Child coffin | Reduced dimensions | 600–1,500 lei |
| Spruce coffin | Lightweight softwood | 800–1,200 lei |
| Poplar coffin | Medium density | 1,200–1,800 lei |

Wood type is the main factor. Spruce and poplar are affordable; oak and mahogany are premium. The price difference between them can be five to six times.
Finish and lining add to the price. A gloss finish, fine fabric or silk lining, a carved cross, and an engraved nameplate all increase the cost. Special dimensions, as in XXL models, require more material.
To choose the right wood for your budget, read the coffin selection guide.
For a limited budget, spruce and poplar provide a dignified ceremony. They are included in the essential package and accepted for cremation.
For a mid-range budget, beech offers a fine grain at a balanced price. For a more distinguished ceremony, oak and mahogany deliver a premium appearance. If cremation is planned, choose a lightweight wood — hardwoods are rarely accepted.
Whatever your budget, we will give you the exact price of the chosen model before any commitment, with no hidden costs.
Standard models — spruce, poplar, beech — are held in stock and can be delivered within hours, which matters in urgent situations. Their price is the one in the table, with no urgency surcharge.
Special models with custom finishes or dimensions require a few days and cost more. A hand-carved coffin or one with silk lining falls into this category.
In an emergency, we recommend a stock model: dignified and immediately available. Call at any hour and we will tell you what we have and how quickly it can arrive.
