Child Caskets

Trappist Caskets

At New Melleray Abbey, the monks view the crafting of child caskets as a corporal work of mercy, and a way to bring some small measure of comfort to families who bear the tragedy of burying a child. The donation of child caskets to families is an important ministry of the monks of New Melleray Abbey. The monks feel this is a small way to touch the lives of people in the outside world, while remaining true to their vocation.

Each casket is crafted from natural oak and features a cross on the lid, personalized with the child’s first name and an image of an angel. Caskets are provided as donations for children up to the age of thirteen (13), with only the shipping costs needing to be covered.
