In keeping with our belief in the principles of sustainability, State of Grace offers a range of high quality, attractive and eco-friendly caskets, as well as traditional options.

Solid Macrocarpa Caskets

This beautiful casket is manufactured in Auckland from macrocarpa, a sustainably managed timber. It is lined with cotton and a wool mattress, and the outer is polished with beeswax. Click here to see more details.

Willow Caskets

We are proud to be the NZ distributors for these beautiful willow caskets. They are hand produced by a sheltered workshop - Southland Enterprises - in Invercargill. The Enterprise provides employment opportunites for Adults with intellectual disabilities.

The willow is grown and processed on the premises, and it takes John two weeks to make each casket. We line them with unbleached calico and a wool mattress, and cornstarch plastic.

Cardboard Caskets

For those wanting the simplest of options, we offer the plain cardboard casket. It can be decorated by family, or left as is. We have a wooden 'outer' for carrying, as shown. The casket comes with a woollen mattress and pillow. Everything is New Zealand made.

Baby Caskets

We commissioned these caskets from Southland Enterprises as we felt that current choices for baby caskets were limited. The little caskets are passed on at cost. They have a wool mattress, covered in white calico (click here to see more details).

Other Options

We also offer a large range of other caskets, including LifeArt, a recycled paper range from Australia, and many other caskets made by Western Caskets in Auckland. Please contact us for details of these.
