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.  Many Batesville hardwoods have a MemorySafe™ drawer and may be personalized by adding custom corners and personalized panels.  Batesville’s hardwood caskets come in a variety of styles and are all backed by our comprehensive pre-interment warranty.
