Product Description

This Casket Kit is designed for those that wish to use a solid wood casket. No metal is used in the construction or assembly of this kit. Perfect for many faiths with a NO METAL requirement, this solid pine coffin kit has an assembly time of 30 minutes with only a hammer and wood glue required for assembly. Each piece slides into the next, interlocking and creating a sturdy and handsome finished casket. Although we implore the use of wood glue in all of the joints, product testing without glue resulted in a surprisingly strong casket supporting a load of over 200lbs. Included in this kit are all necessary wood panels pre-cut and pre-sanded, rope handles, and a detailed instruction sheet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Coffin I've Ever Tried, May 22, 2009

By 

Dangs "Dan" (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MHP The Sandler All Wood Coffin Kit (Health and Beauty)

So, being dead for the last 100 years, lets just say I've had my fair share of chances to try out the latest and greatest in coffin technology.

I've easily spent ten times this much on a coffin that ended up being not even half as comfortable. I may be dead, but that doesn't mean I can't be picky about the conditions in which I lay. I find this all wood coffin kit is really classy and yet understated. Occasionally, this bad boy gets me some hot looks from the dead chicks who see me laying in it.

Also, being that the world is now in a "Green" kick, I find that using sustainable materials such as the wood used in this coffin is more "with the times". This coffin is like the Prius of coffins, sans the smug.

So, I gave this coffin 5 stars, and to all of my deceased homies, would highly recommend giving it a shot. It might be a bit tough to assemble yourself when your hands rotted away almost a century ago, but it's not that bad.

There are plenty of other coffins I wouldn't be caught dead in, but this one more than does the trick. I wouldn't give this coffin up over my dead body.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect family project for when the in-laws visit!, May 22, 2009

My in-laws are visiting soon, and they told me this might be their last visit since they're getting up in years. When I saw this on the Friday Sale, I thought, "What the heck! This might make a nice final family project!". I have two on the way now, and since I'm an avid woodworker, I look forward to putting some extra special touches on the coffin. I think they'll be impressed, and if nothing else, surprised at my thoughtfulness. What's better than homemade birthday cake? How about a homemade coffin?

3.0 out of 5 stars A Birthday Gift from my Husband, May 22, 2009

By 

Gamblor (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MHP The Sandler All Wood Coffin Kit (Health and Beauty)

I received this coffin as a gift for my birthday. Very well made. Few if any knots in the wood which would weaken the planks. My husband did warn me to drop a few pounds or there may be a problem when the pallbearers lifted the casket. I was a little confused as to why this would matter now since I am not planning on using it in the near future. My husband gave a unintelligible response.

The surface decoupages well and can be finished in a color of your choice.
