Ours aren’t any of that.

There’s more to them than people expect.
Built strong, with clean lines, soft curves, and a weight rating up to 320kg.
Made in New Zealand and designed to be different. Not just in shape, but in how people connect with them.

We love seeing how families are using an Outside The Box Casket to tell a story.

This one was painted in memory of a lifelong love of trams, matched to a favourite carriage and reflecting a real passion for transport. 👨‍✈️🚋

Exactly what our caskets are designed for. A blank canvas to honour a life in a truly personal way.

Not everyone wants traditional and a departure from the ordinary is what we’re all about.

Thanks to Little Funeral Company for sharing this beautiful tribute.

A peaceful starry night ✨ and a bold tropical hibiscus design!🌺

The Box Caskets are for people who want something different: Simple, sustainable, and personal.
These two new lids are all about offering more choice, colour, and story, because a casket can say something about the life it’s honouring.

Available very soon through funeral homes across the country.
And I’m proud to stand behind (and beside) every design we make!
