all other casket materials in
strength, durability and naturally
non-rusting qualities. There is a
wide variety of styles, colors,
and features in bronze
Copper caskets combine quality
construction and beautiful finishes.
Copper caskets are also naturally
non-rusting. There is a wide variety

Stainless steel is known for its
longevity, as evidenced by its
use in tableware, medical
equipment and jet engines.
Batesville’s stainless steel
caskets are rust resistant and
constructed of either premium or
basic grades. Both grades
provide varying degrees of
longevity, as well as a full range
of price and style selections.

combine quality construction and
beautiful finishes. Made with the
same quality and attention to detail
as all Batesville caskets, these

system and are available in a wide
variety of colors and styles.
Mahogany is used extensively
for high-grade furniture and
cabinetry. It has a well-earned
reputation because of its
attractive grain pattern and
beautiful natural luster.  
Considered a wood of beauty,
walnut boasts a striking grain color
and pattern. Walnut is warm and
inviting, dignified and elegant, and
engenders a pride of ownership.
Having a natural lustrous patina,
walnut is also known for its strength
and durability.
If the legend holds true, George
Washington was a visionary
when he chopped down the
cherry tree. Cherry has since
grown to be one of the most
popular of hardwoods. Because
of its strength and stability,
cherry is often used for burial
caskets, paneling and gun
stocks. Its rich, warm look and
creamy, reddish color make it a
favorite.
Oak is a popular furniture and
flooring favorite. This durable
wood is used for doors,
paneling, home furnishings and
caskets. Oak has a prominent
grain pattern that can be either
tight or coarse, depending on
the species.
Maple is valued for its strength,
wear resistance and beauty,
making it a popular choice for
flooring, especially for heavily
trafficked areas such as a
ballroom. But it’s also a popular
material used in making
caskets. Maple is evenly
textured with a natural luster.
While the grain is usually
straight, it can also be wavy or
curly.  
Prized for the delicious
pecan nut, pecan trees also
produce a strong and heavy
hardwood. Pecan is light in
color and is often found in
the construction of beautiful
furniture and architectural
paneling.
Pine has been popular since
colonial times. There are nearly
100 species of pine, ranging in
color from pale yellow to light
brown. Though not technically
classified as a “hardwood,” it is
considered to be a durable
wood, usually straight grained
with an even texture.
Hardwood is a cost
effective, yet
attractive, solid wood
product made from
select wood species
including poplar.
Engineered Wood combines
advanced technology, strength
and beauty into one complete
package. As an investment in
tomorrow, engineered wood

affordability of quality wood
