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."
