EXTENSIVE SELECTION OF CASKETS

The Beauty of Metal

Bronze and Copper

For thousands of years, craftsmen and artisans have appreciated the beauty of bronze and copper. These metals are considered to be ideal for casket construction because of their durability. In 1963, Batesville became the first manufacturer to mass-produce bronze and copper caskets, creating production systems to make these products affordable for a wider segment of the population.

Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel

Batesville was the first company to develop and mass-produce steel caskets that provide exceptional beauty with each passing stringent factory testing to ensure consistently high quality. Stainless steel caskets are available in a variety of finishes and styles.

The Elegance of Wood

Classic elegance makes wood the traditional choice for caskets. Utilizing the finest materials, craftsmen at Batesville produce fine quality caskets from wood species including mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, oak, pecan, pine and poplar.

The Economy of Veneer

Choosing veneer may be an economical option for those who want the warmth and beauty of wood. Batesville offers a collection of caskets with premium wood veneers and engineered wood composites for the look and finish of solid hardwood. Available in a variety of wood stains and personalization features, the Batesville Classics Collection is a popular choice.

Cloth Options

Cloth covered caskets are made from corrugated fiberboard, pressed wood or softwoods that are covered with cloth on the exterior, and finished interiors. Cloth covered caskets are modestly priced and are most often considered for their affordability.
