At THE OLD PINE BOX we encourage the purchase of our coffins in their unfinished
state. This not only provides for the most natural return to the earth but also provides a
blank canvas for personal expression by family members. This creative act can be
extremely therapeutic, particularly for children.
Below are testimonials offered by families during the commemoration of their loved ones as
well as a few of the many thanks receive here at THE OLD PINE BOX. It is our great
honor to provide such a welcomed service.

"...thank you for all your services regarding the coffin we bought for my Dad....When we saw it at
the wake we - my siblings & Dad's sisters, and all guests at the wake - were very pleased. The
gentleman at the funeral dept. even was impressed. Great craftsmanship etc. Dad, a carpenter
himself, would have been impressed. He was sent off in good style, with a number of items enclosed
w/him including some small carpentry tools etc." S. L.
"My father had been a wood carver/carpenter/attorney, so I grew up with the smell of sawdust and
wood. Going to your shop in Edgewood was a little like going home to me simply because of the
aroma of wood. Even at the gravesite I could smell the wood and it was really, really comforting to
me." A. O.
"...thank you for doing such a lovely job on Daddy's coffin. It was such beautiful workmanship and
I'm certain Daddy was so proud to be laid to rest in such a fine piece of art." J & D W.
"Thank you for making such a beautiful pet coffin. When we opened the box, we (my husband and I)
both went, "Wow! I can't believe how beautiful it is!" Such great quality. Thanks also for doing a
custom box for us. I feel more at peace knowing we are ready when the time comes." T. A.
"We want to sincerely thank you for the wonderful craftsmanship you do and for making a very
difficult time for us a little easier." S, S & S. B.
"Your work is breathtaking, we couldn't be happier! Thank you for making this whole process so
interactive and personalized. I really feel like we have the right home to honor D's memory--one
that conveys her spirit so appropriately." J. B.
"This "Peace" model was lovingly hand painted by individuals from the East Mountain Artists'
Association here in Central New Mexico for one of their fellow members."
"We received the cremation box, and it is lovely beyond words. Pls tk your sister the artist for us. We
love the images she chose, and the way the images are stained on rather than painted on. It is one of
the loveliest pieces we've seen. Thank you infinitely!"
"Thank you for the beautiful box for our brother’s earthly remains. My sister who is an artist is going
to personalize it for us so the unfinished one is just perfect. We greatly appreciate not only the
beautiful craftsmanship but also the ease in ordering and quick delivery."
Thank you again, JM
"I must tell you my mothers casket arrived in a timely manner."
"Now I must tell you of my opinion. First, I spoke to the funeral home Thursday afternoon to confirm
the caskets arrival. The director was raving about it. I thought they were being supportive during this
difficult time. She said they were taking pictures and were very excited about your product. When I
arrived I went in to view my mom. Your product is beautiful. The craftsmanship is magnificent. The
blanket liner completed the package."
"I must tell you 4 of the 6 pallbearers are master woodworkers. Cabinet makers by trade. They too
were overwhelmed by its beauty."
"Thank you for being there during this difficult time. Your professionalism and your artistry eased
many issues."
"Thank you so much. Please give all involved a hug from me. "

"I bought a pioneer box from you in July 2010 for my brothers funeral. It arrived just in time and you
had just one in stock, the one he wanted and requested before his passing.... Anyhow, Its been a little
while but I just wanted to write you and thank you so much for the kindness I received when talking to
you on the phone and courtesy you had and the promptness you had it getting his "old pine box" to us
in time for his burial. The box was beautiful and smelled so good and fresh. It fit him well and we were
very happy and pleased with it. I cant thank you enough. Our family is very grateful."
