The purpose of both a casket and a coffin is to provide a dignified way to house the deceased’s body. The difference between the two is primarily the design. A coffin has eight sides and is shaped somewhat like a body, whereas a casket is rectangular. While we don’t usually see coffins in North America today, this design is still typical in other parts of the world.

We have standard solid wood caskets in 20 gauge, 25 gauge and 36 gauge thickness. 36 gauge is thicker and usually has better hardware, rounded corners, and upgraded interior materials. Our solid wood caskets include Paulownia, Poplar, Walnut, Mahogany, Maple, Cherry, Cedar, Pine and Ash.

Our most affordable caskets start as low as $1,000, and we often have a few caskets listed on our clearance page. Fortunately, there is a wide range of options in all price ranges with the most affordable caskets being made out of 20-gauge steel, and the more expensive caskets are made of mahogany, or oak. With Resoul Caskets, you can easily find a beautiful casket to suit any taste and budget.
