WOOD | |
Hardwood | any heavy close grained and resistant wood of any broad leaved bearing deciduous tree. |
What are the hardwoods | Cherry,Birch,Mahogany,Maple, oak, Walnut |
Birch | heavy white wood with smooth bark |
Cherry | heavy white wood stain any color |
Mahogany – | imported, rare and expensive and top of the line kind of wood |
Maple | closely grained wood with a lightly tan color and can be stained. Popular for furniture and bowling lanes |
Oak | light in color, closely grained, hardiest of the woods, strong enough for house construction, standard in flooring, 1/3rd of all hardwood casket sales in US. |
Walnut | dark brown wood, rare and expensive, only 2% of caskets are walnut; could be used for veneer. |
Selected hardwood | a Salix casket is a combination of hardwoods |
Softwoods | any wood that is light in texture, non-resistant and easily worked of any coniferous tree, or cone bearing. |
WHat are the softwoods? | Pine, Fir, Spruce, Cedar Redwood |
Pine | an abundant tree that is inexpensive, natural resonance waterproofing; texture has a lot of knots in the grain which is appealing; alternative containers for burial or cremation; most often used. |
Fir | related to pine, larger than pine |
Cedar | expensive, aromatic, used in lining of chests |
Cedar | expensive, not as aromatic, resistant to wood rot. |
Wood products | combinations, maybe thin sheets, or components treated to look like solid wood |
Plywood | glued together so that the grains are at right angles to one another, always in odd numbers |
Composition board | particle board, flake board, fiber board, pressed board; sawdust that has been pressed into a glue and made to look like wood; used in alternative containers like cremation. |
Laminates | Thin covering or layer over a thicker material |
Veneer | a very thin layer of real wood that is glued to a thicker peace of composition board. Makes less expensive look more expensive |
Artificial | – layer of plastic or resin that is sprayed onto the casket or wood |
Ferrous | any metal that contains iron; not used exclusively because they rust and are very heavy; alloys are used instead |
Steel | iron and nickel with some carbon and graded by the amount of nickel that is added to the iron. Rolled into sheets, bended, soldered and melted |
USSG | United States Standard Gauge, number of sheets to get the thickness of one inch. 20 gauge is 20 sheets to make one inch. The lower the number the thicker the steel. 16 gauge is the lowest. |
Stainless steel | iron with chromium and sometimes some nickel is added; all grades of this must have at least 11% chromium. More resistant to rust, but doesn’t last as long as bronze and copper. |

Wrought copper | copper rolled into sheets and the parts are stamped out and then welded together |
Copper deposit | start out with a shell and then placed into a liquid where more copper is electroplated onto it to cover the seams and welding to give greater strength. Top of the line method |
Bronze | alloy of 90% copper with a combination of tin and zinc for the remainder. Because of its strength it is the top of the line for casket construction. |
