The vessels

A coffin is always required for a funeral, whether it involves a traditional burial or cremation. The coffin and urn are central elements of the funeral.

Coffins

The coffin plays a prominent role in the funeral, making its selection an important part of the arrangements and often one of the first tasks to be completed. A carefully chosen coffin reflects the deceased and their life, and honors their memory.

We offer beautiful and high-quality Finnish coffins for your loved one’s funeral. Our selection includes hardwood and fabric-covered coffins. You can choose a burial coffin from the styles shown here or visit our store, where we can show you our wider selection. We are here to help you make your choice.

Personalized coffin

When choosing a coffin, many people carefully consider what type best reflects the deceased’s personality and life. By selecting the materials, decorations, and coverings, you can create a personalized coffin. Our selection offers a wide range of options to choose from.

Ecological coffin

Respecting the deceased’s values is one of the most important aspects of choosing a coffin. An eco-friendly coffin decomposes or burns cleanly, and its materials are carefully selected concerning the environment. We also offer beautiful eco-friendly coffins.

Domestic coffin

A coffin made in Finland is a great choice in many ways. It supports local craftsmanship, and the coffins are made from high-quality natural materials. Our selection includes several domestic coffins, with details carefully designed to suit Finnish tastes.

Cremation in Finland

Cremation has become a more common burial method in Finland. From a land use perspective, it is an eco-friendly option and also provides flexibility in choosing a burial site that reflects the deceased’s personality. Typically, the urn is buried in a cemetery, but it can also be placed on private property, such as a summer cottage or home garden. The urn must be buried or the ashes scattered in the desired location within a year of the cremation.

Urn choices

Choosing an urn is also an important part of the funeral and the grieving process. It’s important to consider the deceased’s values and personality when making your selection. There are more material options for urns than for coffins, as an urn can be made from materials such as wood, papier-mâché, or ceramics. The key requirement is that an urn intended for burial is made of biodegradable material.

The size and design of an urn offer more flexibility than a coffin, as the coffin must fit into a transport vehicle and chapel. Like a coffin, an urn can have various external decorations and coverings, which should also be made from biodegradable materials.
