Welcome to Heartwood Caskets

Most people don't think about caskets until a family member needs one, often quickly and without much time to compare options. Buying a pre-need casket changes that: you choose exactly what you want, on your own timeline. You won't leave someone with the dilemma of having to decide exactly how much to spend or which mass-produced model best reflects you and your values.

Don't know where you would keep it? Our caskets are built to work as well-crafted furniture, a bookcase, a storage bench, in your home instead of out in a pole barn, in a basement or garage. When the time comes, it takes a few minutes to convert. No pegs, screws, or hex keys.

Many people don’t know that there is a federal rule that applies in all 50 states. Funeral homes cannot require you to purchase a casket or coffin from them or charge you a fee for bringing your own. They are obligated to accept any casket brought to them.

Funeral home caskets are expensive and single use. You’ve probably heard someone say, “Just bury me in a plain pine box.” Many of us don’t really feel the need to be buried in a fancy casket that may take 100 years to fully break down. It seems like this is another way our culture has attempted to put off the inevitable. Our simple pine caskets are useful until necessary and will return to the earth.
