Buckingham Solid NZ Heart Rimu Couch
Login to see pricesCapture regal elegance with the lovingly hand-crafted Buckingham Solid NZ Coloured Heart Rimu Couch.
Choosing a casket is one of the last ways to honour and show your respects to you or your loved one. If you want to celebrate your loved one with the best of the best, take a look at the Buckingham Solid NZ Coloured Heart Rimu Couch from the Buckingham casket range by Windsor Industries.
Our inhouse master craftsman, Ming, handcrafts NZ’s most premium casket – the Buckingham couch. (A couch is an oblong shaped coffin.)
This couch is intricately crafted with love; it takes Ming a week to get the raw timber to an assembled couch. It then undergoes five more processes, including grain filling and surface preparation, before the final high gloss coats are added. These processes take a further week.
This Buckingham couch is made from beautiful New Zealand Coloured Heart Rimu. This is the jewel of our native timbers. Rimu heart timber comes from the inside of the trunk and has a lot of colour and character. This Buckingham is NZ’s most premium casket using native timber.
Every time a Buckingham couch is purchased, Windsor Industries donates a native tree to be planted in a reserve as a living memorial.
Dorset Pāua Contemporary Featured Rimu Raised Lid
Login to see pricesThe Dorset Pāua Contemporary is a Featured Rimu casket with a minimal Pāua design, perfect for honouring heritage and being contemporary at the same time.
Knotty Rimu:
The quality timber is the star of this casket: its character shining through.
Knotty Rimu timber is used to produce these beautiful caskets. This grade is not used by the flooring or furniture industry and is therefore a by-product which would be otherwise discarded.
NZ Pāua design:
The casket is made even more beautiful by the NZ Pāua line design. The standards for harvesting are set and strictly managed by the New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industries. Pāua fishery is one of the only sustainably managed abalone fisheries in the world. The Pāua (New Zealand Abalone) is from its natural ocean environment – it is wild, not farmed.
The Pāua used in these caskets is collected by divers who have a quota licence from the New Zealand Government. The Pāua is gently lifted off the rock using a hand-held knife by qualified free divers.
The Pāua is manufactured into a decorative veneer. The shell laminate is specially bonded thin slices of shell and coated with a urethane finish.
We know you will enjoy the richness and beauty of our new Dorset Pāua range with the additional peace of mind you are not adversely impacting on our beautiful New Zealand environment.
*Please note: The Pāua strip on the lid is an optional extra and is not automatically added, please see add-ons below for pricing.
