Metal Caskets

Metal caskets, including those made from bronze, copper, stainless steel and steel, are known for their protective features and 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. Manufactured and tested to be completely resistant to the entrance of air and water, metal caskets combine lasting protection and beauty.

Bronze
Manufactured and tested to be completely resistant to the entrance of air and water, bronze caskets combine lasting protection and beauty. Many families choose bronze because it is superior to all other casket materials in strength, durability and naturally non-rusting qualities.

Copper
Manufactured and tested to be completely resistant to the entrance of air and water, copper caskets combine lasting protection and beauty. Prized for these protective properties, copper caskets are also naturally non-rusting.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is known for its longevity, as evidenced by its use in tableware, medical equipment and jet engines. McCune’s protective, stainless steel caskets are rust resistant and constructed of either premium or basic grades. Both grades provide varying degrees of longevity and protection, as well as a full range of price and style selections.

Hardwood Caskets

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.

Walnut
Considered a wood of beauty, walnut boasts a striking grain color and pattern. Walnut is warm and inviting, dignified and elegant, and engenders a pride of ownership. Having a natural lustrous patina, walnut is also known for its strength and durability.

Cherry
If the legend holds true, George Washington was a visionary when he chopped down the cherry tree. Cherry has since grown to be one of the most popular of hardwoods. Because of its strength and stability, cherry is often used for burial caskets, paneling and gun stocks. Its rich, warm look and creamy, reddish color make it a favorite.

Oak
Oak is a popular furniture and flooring favorite. This durable wood is used for doors, paneling, home furnishings and caskets. Oak has a prominent grain pattern that can be either tight or coarse, depending on the species.

Maple
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.

Pecan
Prized for the delicious pecan nut, pecan trees also produce a strong and heavy hardwood. Pecan is light in color and is often found in the construction of beautiful furniture and architectural panelling.

Pine
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.

General Hardwood

Hardwood is a cost effective, yet attractive, solid wood product made from select wood species including poplar.
