Thread: curved top casket

Tweet

I am looking for plans to build a curved top casket. I have found the ones from shallowvalley but I am wondering if there is anything else out there.

I don't know what your budget is, but if you're willing to spend a little, these are really good plans. They are designed for one that you would actually use.

Wood Casket Plan - Rockler Woodworking Tools

this site has plans for a curved top coffin:

Shallow Valley Funeral Home

I found this web page How to Build Your Own Coffin

and there is also a book called DIY build a coffin

I found a link the other day, actually - though I wish I could remember it now - wherein the builder built his standard box out of wood, then built "ribs" out of plywood, cut sort of in a half-circle shape and spaced them about a foot or so apart across his "lid". (Imagine a skinned-version of an aircraft wing.)

Then he went and took our favorite blue foam product, and cut a series of half circles to put between the ribs. With some sanding and paint, they blended right in, and it looked amazing.

I was hoping to have time this year, but it's not looking good. Maybe '09.

Well, it looks like there are a lot of good ideas. post pictures of what ever you build.
