Most caskets are mass produced in high volumes, sold to wholesalers, who then sell them to funeral homes before you even get the chance to look at them. The Trappist Monks of New Melleray Abbey believe you and your loved ones deserve a more personal approach.  

Each of our caskets is made from wood specially selected and harvested from the trees in our 1400-acre forest. After the tree is cut down, a new one is planted in memory of the departed. The casket is then handcrafted by our team, who pray for the person’s soul throughout the process.  

Each person is truly one-of-a-kind. They deserve a casket that is as unique as them.

Testimonials

“I must also express my continuing thanks and gratefulness for the way my casket order was taken care of. From beginning to end, it was both easy and, most importantly, a moment of Christian faith and hope.” — Pamela, Chicago, IL

I ordered a simple casket for my Mother. The picture on the website doesn’t adequately convey the beauty of your work. You could tell that loving hands put it together. The workmanship was remarkable. Many of our relatives and friends commented on how surprised they were by the “soft” look of this casket, compared to a metal one. We were very pleased, and I believe my mother would have liked our choice. — Mary Jane, Redondo Beach, CA
