Hand crafted like fine furniture, each wooden casket has its own unique graining pattern. The natural warmth and beauty of wood is available in a variety of types. The interior material of a wood casket is typically either velvet or crepe. The classification of hardwood simple means that the wood comes from a leaf-bearing tree. "Softwood" comes from the needle or cone-bearing tree. Therefore, designation as a hardwood is not determined solely by consistency or surface hardness of the wood itself, but the species of the tree from which it came. Cost can vary depending on whether the sides of the casket are constructed from solid wood or a veneering process has been utilized.
