coffin maker

Builds final beds

A coffin maker is a person who constructs coffins—the boxes in which dead bodies are buried or cremated.

The term evokes traditional craftsmanship, suggesting someone who builds wooden caskets by hand rather than works in modern funeral industry manufacturing.

The village coffin maker had been in business for three generations.
