Caskets

It was an easy decision to partner our firm with a company such as York Casket. This company is not just satisfied with providing a product for a consumer need, but they continue to invest in consumer research and innovation for the benefit of the customers and families that they serve. We also take pride in the fact that these wood caskets are manufactured in The United States. Supporting American workers and the American economy.

Here is a brief history behind York Casket:

Our company began as the York Wagon Gear Company, founded in 1892 in York, Pennsylvania. The company built wooden coaches for horse-drawn carriages. As automobiles began to replace horses for everyday transportation, York Wagon Gear Company shifted its manufacturing to carriages designed for the Ford chassis. In 1917, the company changed its name to York Body Corporation.

The company prospered into the 1930s, then through diversification strategies, applied its expertise in metal and wood fabrication into manufacturing burial caskets.

We offer York Caskets in a wide range of materials and styles:

Semi Precious Metal Caskets
Stainless Steel Caskets
Steel Caskets
Premium Hardwood Caskets
Hardwood Caskets
Veener Caskets
Cremation Caskets



Burial Vaults

What is a Burial Vault?
A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the casket. It protects the casket from the weight of the earth and heavy maintenance equipment that will pass over the grave. It also helps resist water and preserves the beauty of the cemetery or memorial park by preventing the ground from settling. For this reason most cemeteries require the use of a burial vault.  All burial vaults that we offer will fit the minimum cemetery requirments.
