4 Choosing a Coffin or Casket Choosing a coffin or casket is an important aspect of arranging a funeral. At Tobin Brothers, we recognise that your choice will depend on many things, including: - The wishes or personality of the person who has died. - The shape, design or colour of the coffin/casket. - Your family s religious or cultural background. - Whether the funeral is a burial or cremation. - Budgetary or environmental considerations. - A preference for either a contemporary or more traditional style. We therefore offer a wide range of coffins and caskets which vary in many ways, including their shape, construction, design, workmanship, colour and other components, such as the handles and drapery. To make a choice that best meets your family s needs, our coffins and caskets are grouped into the following categories: CUSTOMWOOD COFFINS SOLID TIMBER COFFINS COMPOSITE BOARD COFFINS CELEBRATED MOMENTS COFFINS SOLID TIMBER CASKETS METAL CASKETS ENVIRONMENTAL OPTIONS A more detailed description is listed at the beginning of each category. Whatever your needs or preferences, our professionally trained Funeral Planners are familiar with all of the coffins and caskets in our range, and will assist you with your choice.
