A labor of love - for those of us with the skills to build things out of wood, making a final resting place for a loved one can provide important resolution and closure.
It's easy to build these caskets using the detailed drawings and step-by-step instructions. To meet your needs, the plan comes with four casket sizes: large, medium, small and extra small.
For cemetery burial, please contact your local pet cemetery for their standards and requirements.
The plans include instructions on how to make four sizes of caskets.
