Choosing a coffin or casket is an important aspect of arranging a funeral. At Tobin Brothers, we recognise that your choice will depend on many things, including: - The wishes or personality of the person who has died.- The shape, design or colour of the coffin/casket.- Your family’s religious or cultural background.- Whether the funeral is a burial or cremation.- Budgetary or environmental considerations.- A preference for either a contemporary or more traditional style.

We therefore offer a wide range of coffins and caskets which vary in many ways, including their shape, construction, design, workmanship, colour and other components, such as the handles and drapery. To make a choice that best meets your family’s needs, our coffins and caskets are grouped into the following categories:

Without the grain of natural timber, the customwood coffins in our range are either painted or covered in a timber veneer

to enhance their appearance.
