| This traditional style coffin, still popular in Europe, is not easy to find in the United States and we at Trappist Caskets are pleased to make it available to our customers. Beautiful in its simplicity, this casket, which is also available in Pine, is reminiscent of times past when simple, unadorned caskets were made by hand with moderation and economy in mind. That tradition continues here at Trappist Caskets where we have been building our own coffins by hand for over 150 years whenever one of our brothers dies. As monks, we believe that work is a form of prayer and our approach to manual labor sets Trappist Caskets apart from those that are mass-produced because our caskets reflect our values and way of life. Before being shipped to its destination, each casket is personally blessed by one of the monks of New Melleray Abbey, and knowing that that they are built on the grounds of a monastery is a source of comfort and consolation to our customers because of the spiritual message they convey. |

| Simple Shaped Oak Casket | $1,095.00 |
| It is our mission at Trappist Caskets to build high quality products at affordable prices. Oak is valued for its strength and durability and this casket reflects the same meticulous care that is taken to craft our premium Trappist Caskets. It's been carefully milled and then fashioned by hand by our monks and their staff of trained artisans. As with all Trappist Caskets, this one includes a natural muslin-upholstered interior, pillow, mattress, and adjustable bed and comes with a two-piece screw down lid and six custom-made solid brass handles. A two-coat clear lacquer finish protects the coffin and enhances the natural beauty of its Oak grain. It can be adorned with a raised wooden cross on the lid at no additional cost. Each Trappist Casket meets or exceeds industry standards for strength and size, and all models fit into standard-sized burial vaults. By law, all funeral homes must accept any outside casket that is chosen by the family without incurring additional charges. Most funeral homes are very receptive to Trappist Caskets. In most cases, your casket can arrive in 1-2 business days, depending on destination and transit time requested. Extra charges may apply to weekend shipping. Please call for exact shipping rates and option. Custom Engraving Trappist Caskets offers custom engraving to enable families to personalize a wooden casket or cremation urn by including a loved one's name, and significant dates. A casket can also be engraved with a religious symbol or image, a prayer, special blessing, or quotation in order to pay further tribute to his or her memory. Custom engraving on wooden caskets costs from $175 to $250. |
