Coffins and caskets

At Latrobe Valley Funeral Services we understand that selecting a coffin or casket is a highly personal decision and is an important part of funeral arrangements. We have a range of coffins and caskets available that vary in size and design.

Naturally, pricing varies according to the material used in manufacture, the style and detail of design and the trimming.

What is the difference between a coffin and a casket?

The difference between a coffin and a casket is essentially its design. Coffins form a tapered shape at their head and foot and are wider at the shoulders. Caskets are rectangular in shape and usually domed, often constructed with higher standards of workmanship. The decision to select a coffin or a casket is an entirely personal preference. Many people regard the selection as an important tribute to their love one.
