Matthews Cremation Caskets
Matthews Cremation / Elder-Davis has been the pioneer of environmentally-friendly caskets and containers since 1984. We have established ourselves as the cremation casket leader through product innovation, an environmentally-driven focus and a passion for building product merchandise that connect with today's cremation consumer. We manufacture caskets out of recycled material such a particleboard and cardboard and apply several different types of covering to the exterior of the casket. Over the years we have introduced many product innovations. The ELDERLITE® design, Homecoming™ and CarteVeneer™ series are all now industry standards.
Our environmental focus is highlighed by numerous manufacturing elements:
- Manufacturing material made from recycled saw dust and cardboard.
- Pillow cotton is made from recycled fabric.
- Bed mattresses are made of 100% cotton.
- Water base stains and sealers.
- Water based adhesives.
As you witness our revolutionary approach to casket manufacturing, you will enjoy our standard for design and value that meets the all important "Dignified to View yet Practical to Burn" approach with cremation. We understand the sensitive balance for attractive yet affordable cremation caskets that assist funeral professionals in the marketing of their services.
