Carved, deep rosewood stain with raised lid.

Carved, deep rosewood stain with raised lid.

This beautiful Waka Moenga (sleeping vessel) carved Rosewood casket was created by the team of talented craftsmen and the carvers at Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre’s Whare Whakairo (carving studio).

The components are cut then transported to Mt Bruce for carving. Each piece is lovingly hand-carved during the following week.

The traditional Māori Puhoro design symbolises a speedy journey to the next realm.

Once complete, the carved components are transferred back to be assembled and given a stunning glossed rosewood finish.

This majestic casket sparkles with a deep red glow when exposed to the sunlight; the ultimate sleeping vessel ready to embark on its next journey.

Due to these caskets being high end, we may need to allow for delivery time (1-2 days) depending on stock levels in the funeral home.
