Wood Effect
A wood effect coffin is made using MDF or chipboard covered in a laminated or printed layer. It gives the appearance of a traditional wooden coffin and comes in a variety of wood types and designs. The coffin is constructed and polished to a high standard but cannot be hand-finished like a veneer or solid wood coffin. As an entry-level coffin, it provides a dignified option for those facing budget constraints.
