About
Report
Abbey Caskets was established in 1999 and is owned and operated by the monks of Saint Meinrad Archabbey. Abbey Caskets supports the prayer and works of Saint Meinrad Archabbey by offering handcrafted wooden caskets, cremation urns and keepsake crosses directly to the public. Each high-quality casket and urn is built, to the specifications of the monks, in our workshop by local craftsmen from hardwoods such as cherry, walnut, oak and poplar.
Casket and Urn Blessing

Archabbot’s Message
Report
As Benedictine monks here at Saint Meinrad, we certainly appreciate the natural beauty of our home - the trees and beautiful landscape that surround our hilltop monastery and the sandstone buildings that have stood for many years. This appreciation for God's gifts is a part of our spiritual life. We celebrate this belief in the spiritual through the many symbols that are part of monastic life.
What People Are Saying
Report
We received many positive comments about the beautiful, but simple monk's casket in natural poplar that we ordered for Jim. The priest even commented on its beauty during his Mass homily. Abbey Caskets customer service could not have been more comforting during this very difficult time. Sadly, I purchased 2 items within 6 months - and urn for my mother-in-law and a casket for my husband!
