Bespoke Coffin Quotation and Selection Process

Our coffin selector process offers you all the options that we have, letting you choose exactly what you wish for your coffin, while giving you an up-to-date quote as you move through the options. To get a quote, press the "save cart" button after selecting your address or pickup option.

Or you could instead select from our preselected packages that allow for a one click purchase.

The pricing of these packages is exactly what that coffin would have cost if it had been specified using the coffin selector process, but it is much quicker to make your purchase by using the packages. There are, of course, more options in the coffin selector.

FAQ's

Below, you will find a compilation of commonly asked questions to provide you with quick answers.

Is the flat Pack easy to assemble?

Yes, Flat packs are easy to assemble, there are only 5 panels (apart from the lid) and they will only go together one way. We have detailed assembly instructions and you are encouraged to check out our coffin assembly video further down this page.

How long does it take for my coffin to get to me?

That depends on where you are in New Zealand. For orders received before 9:00am, we can generally get your coffin on the truck the same day, unless you have asked us to paint or stain it. For orders after 9:00 am, we will dispatch the following day. Freight usually takes 1 to 3 business days following pick up at either our North Island or South Island facilities. We can request urgency for you which means Mainfreight will pullout all the stops and will often deliver the next day or sometimes the day after For more information contact us for details.

How much weight will the coffin hold?

We have done testing to prove that all of our coffins and caskets will hold over 600 Kg without failing, however we only rate them at 200Kg, which gives a good factor of Safety.

What are the rules for coffins and funerals?

Other than a couple of forms that need to be filled out and the requirement for a body to be unable to be viewed from out side the vehicle transporting it, there are no rules about death and funerals, despite the urban myths. You can do as much or as little of the work to get your loved one prepared as you choose. Most undertakers will be happy to work with you to do anything that you don’t want to do or don’t feel comfortable doing. If the undertaker that you approach does not seem to want to do what you would like, my suggestion is try someone else, they are just telling you that their profit is more important to them than you are.

Can you deliver to a rural address?

Yes we can. For deliveries close to town we generally will not charge you for the delivery. As the distance from town increases, we reserve the right to levy a surcharge to cover the increased freight that we have to pay. We will let you know about any surcharge within hours of your placing the order. We will also discuss with you the option of delivering to someone in town who you can pick the coffin up from. Friends are good for this and there are normally a couple of businesses in town that will not mind accepting a delivery for you.

What tools do I need to assemble a flat pack?

All tools that you need are included in the flatpack.
