Description

Handcrafted from Meru Oak (Vitex keniensis), this casket offers a harmonious blend of durability and elegance. Meru Oak is prized for its hard, dense structure and attractive grain, making it a fitting foundation for a dignified tribute. To enhance its natural beauty, the wood is finished with a walnut stain; black walnut heartwood is known for its dark chocolate hue and tight, straight grain that polishes to a smooth, lustrous finish. The result is a rich, semi‑gloss surface that accentuates the casket’s domed lid and sculpted side panels. Sturdy swing‑bar handles in polished brass provide secure support for pallbearers and add a warm metallic contrast. Inside, a padded velvet or satin lining offers comfort and refinement, echoing the high‑quality interiors typical of premium wood caskets. Each casket is finished by hand to ensure quality and reflects Executive Funeral Services’ commitment to honouring cultural traditions with compassion and respect.
