Handcrafted in our esteemed shop located in the Pacific Northwest, our wood caskets showcase an unmatched level of attractiveness, dignity, and superior quality. We present an extensive selection of styles, ranging from simple basic boxes to premier paneled designs. Whether you require standard or oversized caskets, we gladly accommodate custom requests, ensuring your personal vision is realized. Our caskets are meticulously crafted in both soft and hardwoods, with a wide choice of stain and liner colors available.

To cater to your specific needs, we provide the option to pre-order our wood caskets. With a quick turnaround time of as little as 3 days, your casket will be ready for your final arrangements. Additionally, we maintain a variety of styles in stock, either finished, wrapped, and ready to ship, or semi-finished, awaiting customization with the liner color of your choice.

One of our popular offerings is the Basic Cedar/Pine Casket. This particular casket is skillfully crafted from a combination of Red Cedar and White Pine wood. Its smooth box design utilizes a superior grade of wood throughout. The exterior is diligently sanded to a remarkably smooth finish, and a final coat of natural oil is applied. This casket is equipped with a single raised lid and low profile handles, perfectly sized to fit a standard vault. Choose from a stunning collection of liner colors to complete your personalized vision.

Founded and operated by the husband and wife team of Mike and Terri Hurley, Caskets by Design embodies a legacy of dedication and craftsmanship. Terri adeptly oversees product sales, shipping, and materials procurement, while Mike utilizes his wealth of woodworking experience to shape ordinary wood planks into remarkable wood caskets. Together, they add the finishing touches by lining and wrapping the caskets for shipment. Their son Jeff is also involved, assisting with sawing and preparing the rough lumber for the creation of semi-finished caskets or coffins. Beyond their expertise in crafting caskets, Jeff brings his artistic flair to life, creating exquisite handcrafted custom knives at his forge.

While we directly cater to the public, offering our caskets at wholesale prices, we also serve funeral homes and other memorial service providers. Throughout the years, we have produced a multitude of caskets and coffins for both humans and animals alike. Additionally, our craftsmanship has extended to creating custom caskets for television, film, and stage productions. We take great pride in our locally handmade funeral products. For shipping, we utilize truck freight, ensuring your casket is delivered with utmost care. Please note that additional fees apply for delivery to the contiguous 48 states, and the average delivery time ranges from 3-7 business days. We are pleased to offer free shipping within a 50-mile radius of Langlois, Oregon. Upon placing your order, we will personally contact you to arrange a delivery time. Deliveries can be made directly to any funeral home or business address, with home delivery considered based on location.

In the past, funeral homes exclusively sold caskets. However, the Funeral Rule now empowers you to purchase a casket from an external source and have it directly delivered to the funeral home. Funeral homes are obligated to accept the casket you acquired independently, without charging any additional fees. While some states attempt to restrict competition by banning outside casket sales, we remain committed to providing choice and fair pricing to our valued customers.

The funeral home industry has historically bundled the cost of funeral services into the price of caskets, resulting in mark-ups of 300-500-700% or more. In the United States, the average cost of a funeral reaches $8,755, three times higher than Great Britain and more than twice the costs in France or Australia.

For impeccable service, please reach out to us by phone during our available hours of Monday to Saturday, 8am-6pm PT. Alternatively, you can also contact us through email. At Caskets by Design, we aim to provide unmatched quality and service, ensuring a dignified farewell.
