Coffins & Caskets

There is a wide range of Coffin and Casket options available, including Enviro Caskets and Customisable Coffins.

Coffins

Coffins are one of the most recognisable and traditional methods of encapsulation for the deceased. Coffins are identified by the tapered shape at the head and feet, effectively providing a 6 sided container.

Coffins are available in a wide range of styles and colours with various accessories available including handles, crucifixes etc. Bass Coast Funerals are able to walk you through the various options from basic coffins through to fully customised coffins.

Enviro Caskets

Enviro Caskets are required for Natural Burials. Enviro caskets may be wicker construction (as pictured) or be of wood construction but contain no glue or metals.

Bass Coast Funeral Service are able to arrange the enviro casket that is best suited to your burial option from our range of trusted suppliers including the Hand Woven Casket Company.

Caskets

A casket differs slightly from a traditional coffin in that it has 4 sides and is not tapered. Caskets often offer some additional features including keep-safe draws in side the coffin and locking lids.

Caskets are a slightly more expensive option than traditional coffins, but like coffins they come in a wide range of designs and colours with additional accessories available.

Cremation Caskets

Cremation Caskets are a price conscious option available to be used for No Service or Direct Cremations where a styled coffin or casket is not required.

Cremation Caskets are typically constructed of wood or cardboard, are bare and have limited features such as handles.

Custom Coffins

Custom Coffins provide the family the option to paint, decorate or draw on a plain coffin as a final tribute to their loved one. The coffins can be provided ahead of time for decoration and supplied when your loved one passes away.

Custom Coffins are available in a standard coffin or casket design and are typically constructed of wood and painted matte white allowing them to be painted, written on or otherwise decorated.

Bass Coast Funerals are also able to arrange custom vinyl wrapping for coffins, so your loved one could be wrapped with their favourite sports team or family photos.
