Trappist Caskets

Trappist Caskets As contemplative monks, casket making provides for our modest living. We impart the sanctity of a life of prayer into our manual labor.

We contemplative monks view the work of making caskets as a corporal work of mercy and as men of God, impart the sanctity of a life of prayer into our manual labor. Along side local lay artisans, we find great satisfaction in working with natural materials to make only earth-friendly products. Caskets of the purest quality are the result.
