FAQ
What is the difference between a coffin and a casket?
A coffin and a casket differ primarily in shape and style. A coffin typically has a tapered shape, narrower at the feet and wider at the shoulders, while a casket is generally rectangular with a hinged lid. The choice between them is often based on personal preference, cultural custom or design considerations.
Are all coffins suitable for cremation?
Not all coffin materials are suitable for cremation, as some materials may not comply with crematorium requirements. Coffins intended for cremation are designed with materials that meet the operational and safety standards of crematorium facilities. If a particular design is requested, its suitability for the chosen arrangement is confirmed during planning.
How long does it usually take to arrange a coffin or casket?
The timeframe can vary depending on the type selected. Standard coffins or caskets are often available within a short timeframe, while personalised or custom designs may require several additional days for design approval, production and delivery. Timing is usually discussed early in the planning process to ensure arrangements align with the intended service date.
