My Mom died yesterday and it was not unexpected … we’ll be finishing the casket this morning. Building a casket is an emotionally powerful project … I recommend it highly …. Feel free to email or call for more info … More photos on my blog at http://dorsetcustomfurniture.blogspot.com/

Dan,
Sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine building a casket for my mom. I built an urn for one of my dogs, and it was one of the most painful things I’ve ever done.

I’m also sorry to hear of your loss. It appears that your mother was a quilter. My mother was a quilter, and my wife, and daughter are currently. What a great way to remember your mother.

I’m very sorry, Dan.
The casket looks wonderfully appropriate for a quilter.

My Thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your family Dan.
Nice job on the casket. I’ve never even thought about a project like this and I am not sure I could even if I had the skills.
