Though all earthly things pass away, a casket is a meaningful gesture honoring a life lived and a life to come. Whether you have just lost a loved one, or you are planning for the future to ease the burden on your loved ones, Trappist Caskets wants to come along side you during this time.
Our handcrafted wooden urns are made from the finest native walnut, oak and cherry. Our ceramic urns are hand-thrown. Like every Trappist Casket, each finely crafted wooden urn is made in the prayerful environment of New Melleray Abbey and individually blessed by a monk.
Our keepsake crosses are also crafted from the finest native walnut, oak and cherry. Every casket and urn comes with an optional keepsake cross. Crosses may be personalized with engraving, and additional crosses are available as mementos. Guest Register Books can be also personalized in memory of your loved one. more>
