Cedar offers unique natural properties that benefit casket construction.

Yes, cedar releases a distinctive aromatic fragrance from its natural oils. Many families find this pleasant scent comforting during funeral services and viewing. The fragrance is subtle yet noticeable, adding a sensory element that distinguishes cedar from other wood casket types. This natural characteristic has made cedar popular for centuries as a material for storage chests and closets.
While both cedar and pine come from cone bearing trees, cedar offers superior natural resistance to decay and insects. Pine caskets cost less but lack cedar’s aromatic oils and moisture resistance. Cedar’s reddish-brown color appears richer than pine’s lighter yellow tones. For families prioritizing natural preservation qualities, cedar provides advantages over pine at a moderate price increase.
Cedar makes an excellent choice for green burial due to its natural properties and minimal need for synthetic finishes. The wood is biodegradable and sourced from sustainably managed forests. Cedar’s natural decay resistance comes from organic compounds, not chemical treatments, making it suitable for many green cemeteries. Check specific cemetery requirements regarding hardware and finishing.
