Caskets & Urns
When you’re organising a funeral, an essential consideration revolves around choosing a casket (coffin), which is necessary for both burial and cremation ceremonies.
If your loved one is to be cremated, you will also need to consider an urn, which is specifically designed for holding or scattering ashes.
Your choice of casket and urn will likely be a combination of budget factors, style preferences, and creating a meaningful tribute to your loved one.
Vospers offers a diverse selection of options, and our staff are here to assist you in your choice.
Caskets
Caskets (also known as coffins) are available in a range of designs, from traditional mahogany, rimu, oak or macrocarpa caskets.
Pictorial caskets are now very popular. These feature a unique image – the pictorial casket with Mt Taranaki is particularly popular – or you can use one of your own photos.
The picture caskets are manufactured in New Zealand from environmentally sustainable materials, and come with natural fibre and wool drapery that’s 100% biodegradable.
We also offer a range of eco-friendly caskets that are produced from sustainably-grown forests. These timber caskets could even be decorated or personalised by your loved one’s friends and family.
