wooden coffins

Oak burial containers

Wooden coffins are burial containers made of wood, the traditional material for caskets in Western funerals.

The phrase often appears in discussions of funeral costs, environmental impact, or as a symbol of mortality itself: The undertaker showed them a selection of wooden coffins.

Pine and oak are common choices, ranging from simple boxes to elaborately carved and finished pieces.
