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. 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.
