Most of the coffins manufactured in the uk today are made from veered chipboard in large quanties. This video is men't to give you an idear of how a traditional coffin is made.
3/4" solid mahogany with paneled sides and raised lid, incorparating solid brass furniture and lovingly lined with goosedown and best satin. The Timber is sourced from managed forests and of a fast growing variety to limit the impact it has on our enviroment.
With around 70% of funerals in London now being cremations few bereaved families require solid timber coffins. Nevertheless with so many traditional crafts being forgotten in favour of cheap mass production it would be a tradgedy to loose this craftmanship that has been associated with generations of independent family funeral directors. Leverton Bros carry out funerals in East London and Essex and are proud to offer traditional Funerals to the families we
serve.If you have any queries or wish to discuss a pre paid funeral plan, please write to us at info@levertonbros.co.uk.
Thank you for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video.

Thank you Leverton Brothers. Such a wonderful presentation showing your beautiful skills. I particularly enjoyed seeing 'traditional hand French Polishing'. An art lost to the spray gun.

Gaggy Mott This is a craft handed down from father to son. Everything is hand made. We have been making them in our family for over a hundred years.

To cut wood and make by hand is amazing, no better way to honer a loved one than to have them rip in something made with pride unlike theses mass produced caskets people buy today. Id love to make one for my loved ones when time comes.

The sides of this coffin where mass produced in a factory you certainly never saw him make them. I know for the reason been a Coffin maker over 45 years.

Brilliant, a dying craft (no pun intended). My late father was a joiner and spent part of his training making coffins, as well as french polishing.

Beautiful finish on the Coffin, such a shame you didn't put some padding behind the side sheets, it makes a world of difference, wood wool is a good product for this and is accepted for Cremations too. you can also use it for giving the pillow area some depth!

I've been a Coffin maker for 47 years and will put this man to shame as he never admitted the main components the sides are factory made. No BODY has commented on how did he make the sides of the coffin. Well he did not make them. The sides of coffins have been bought in by undertakers for over 100 years for a simple reason. The sides of any coffin no matter the size of the corpse are allways the same they come in standard one size lengths as you saw he sawed this coffin to size. The only part that needs to be made as he did is the bottom. Ends, and a decorative lid. Handles on a Coffin are not for carrying there only for decorative purposes. In life what you appear to see is fooling you and the iceing on the cake is the huge price charged for a piece of underground furniture seen above ground for only a few days.

Karl Gibson ... I think this may depend on where you are around the world, many people make coffins or caskets for themselves these days it’s not new . I see the Kurfs cut in the sides so it bends and flexes around the side of the casket. A circular saw can do this easily or table saw. He may well have bought the sides as you say but he still did a lot of work on it and stained it nicely, added lovely handles and other components I say a job well done regardless.

I want a coffin in a style like this--in a beautiful emerald green wood stain. I admire Anglo/Irish wooden coffins, because of my Irish heritage and my history of having lived in England (despite being born an American). Sadly there appear to be no such styles of traditional coffins available in North America. I would need to build my own (a challenge I could probably take on and learn this craft) or settle for the rest of my life back in the UK and be buried there in one of these.

Francis Smith there are a few, if you like the simple there is abby caskets from indiana, they are not built by the brothers but a local maker in indiana, or any master carpenter could problebly make you one, your just building a strong box with a good stain, and some fancy router work as well as some handles.

My dad commissioned his friend to make him a coffin, if you stood it up on end you could mistake it for a storage cupboard. It was ugly. When he did pass away many years later we bought a regular one and use the other as a storage chest. No one would know unless you point it out.

I'd like to see how they get the walls to bend along the sides.
@onetalentedman2822
@onetalentedman2822 3 года назад
I'm a Coffin maker, you ask how the sides where bent when building a Coffin. Simply you cut 13, close saw cuts three, quarters of the way through the coffin sides from the back, ( The saw cuts are named Kerfs). This enables the sides of the coffin to be bent easially for the shoulders of the corpse. Also a Coffin is made 6 inches longer than the dead person this allows for, baged internal body parts to be stored, after a autopsie as its not easy to return them all inside a body.
@tomatkinson6996
@tomatkinson6996 3 года назад
I recently retired and am gearing up to start woodworking again. I grew up watching those Hammer vampire movies and I'd see a lot of "toe-pinchers" in them. It appears that they steam bend the sides. The shoulder area of the coffin isn't angled it appeared to have a smooth gradual curve...beautiful ( in a weird sort of way)
@onetalentedman2822
@onetalentedman2822 3 года назад
@@tomatkinson6996 The way you get the bend on a coffins shoulder is by cuting 13 kerfs close together. A kerf is a saw cut three quarters of the way through the wood used for side of coffins do this 10 cm between each cut 13 times and the coffin side bends purfectly at the shoulder, no steaming involved. Check out on you tube cuting kerfs to bend wood. I've been a Coffin maker myself over 45 years and daily make a fortune for making noththing more than very strong boxes to put dead people in. There is no job that gives you such high returns as a Coffin maker. Good luck with your venture never forget we all must die and need a coffin.
