Caskets are one of the most important parts of a funeral. They say a lot about the person and the life the led. Caskets come in a wide variety of models as well as prices. We are sure that we have the right one, not only for your loved one but also for your budget.

Whether you are pre-planning for yourself or choosing for a loved one, a casket selection is a very personal decision and an expression of your feelings. A casket that reflects the personality and taste of your loved one can be your final tribute to their life. Stephenson-Shaw understands these needs and offers a wide variety of caskets that can help you make your decision.

Metal caskets -- including those made from bronze, copper, stainless steel and steel -- are known for their unique finishes. Bronze and copper are among the most durable and beautiful of metals; both are naturally non-rusting. Stainless and carbon steel caskets come in a variety of grades, gauges, styles and finishes.

Hardwood caskets include a variety of species: mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, oak, pecan, poplar, and pine. These caskets are the choice of families who appreciate and cherish the qualities of natural wood. The warmth, beauty and personality it brings to fine furniture ideally suited it for the construction of quality caskets.

When budget is a challenge, cloth covered caskets are especially appropriate because they meet both the special needs of some families and Stephenson-Shaw ’s exacting standard of quality.
