Handcrafted wood caskets Trappist Monks


We have handcrafted wood caskets made of pine, as well as walnut and oak models, all from wood grown in our forest.

Trappist Caskets are the work of the monks at New Melleray Abbey. Along with prayer and study, casket-making is an extension of our sacred work. Each wood casket reflects the values of the men who made it; integrity, simplicity, and reverence for nature.

Our wood caskets and urns are understated in design, showing a preference for vintage, old-world joinery.
It is our mission at Trappist Caskets to build the highest quality casket at an affordable price. Our caskets meet or exceed industry standards for strength and size, and all models will fit into a standard size burial vault. By law, all funeral homes must accept any casket chosen by the family without incurring any additional charges and we have found that most funeral homes are very receptive to Trappist Caskets.

In most cases, your casket can arrive in 1-2 business days, depending on destination.

It is our hope that the work of our hands will help nourish a return to a dignified spirituality of death.
