Burial Caskets.
Fairly Priced.

Rick Zerbe Cornelsen (The Village Casketmaker) places an emphasis on sensible caskets and cremation urns. All of Rick's products are handmade and finished by Rick himself. He is the only Winnipeg supplier to sell directly to the public, although we are more than happy to order one of his products for you.

Rick uses materials and techniques that balance environmental sustainability, strength, pleasant appearance, and reasonable cost.  At present, he builds with veneered plywoods or solid pine and spruce. The former are sturdy, relatively inexpensive and allow for the enjoyment of wood grains without consuming precious solid lumber. The latter are fast-growing and biodegradable softwoods.

No particle board is used in the construction of these caskets.  Interior sheets and pillows are made of organic, unbleached cotton. Bedding material is shredded wood fiber wrapped in paper tissue. To finish caskets, a Danish oil is used.

The Village Casketmaker is a local manufacturer and will deliver to any Winnipeg funeral home.

The Imperial Group is a Canadian company which supplies caskets and urns to Canadian funeral homes. There is a warehouse located in Winnipeg which is well stocked with both caskets and urns.  Imperial has a self-imposed policy to sell only to funeral homes and will not sell directly to the public or to businesses which do not carry a traditional funeral home license.

Each funeral home in Winnipeg has access to all the products shown on their website, even if the funeral home does not show the products casket selection room (showroom).  We are happy to acquire any casket from any supplier on your behalf and pass it on to you without profit.
