Oh my, how time flies. The Northwoods Casket Company will be celebrating TWENTY YEARS in spring of 2024! Over the years we’ve grown from a small sole proprietorship working out of our basement and carriage house workshop, to an LLC, then an S Corp, and now a C Corp since 2018. Some things haven’t changed though and that includes that we are an independent family-owned business loyal to local-sourcing, sustainability, and delivering the finest quality products to Wisconsin funeral homes with a next-day service guarantee. Julie & I are proud to have served Wisconsin funeral homes almost 20 years and we very much look forward to at least 20 more.

In collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural resources, we’d like to prepare for several tree-planting projects in the Spring of 2024. As many of our loyal supporters already know, we committed in 2010 to plant 100 trees in Wisconsin for every casket we make. A few years later, when we introduced our cremation urns, we added another 10 tree seedlings to our count. Not only do we plant trees for every casket or urn purchased, we also add to our count for any pre-arranged casket or cremation urn!!

In 2022, we delivered 448 caskets to funeral homes in Wisconsin. (OK, we did deliver a select few to movie sets, but that’s another story!) We also delivered 306 cremation urns to Wisconsin funeral homes and sold 522 cremation urns throughout the US and Canada via our online stores at Etsy.com, Northwoodscasket.com, and Amazon.com stores. All together, we are planting just over 53,000 trees in Wisconsin next year for the 2022 tally!! Please consider helping us reach our goal of planting 150,000 trees next year!

Please join us in our call to action as follows:

Funeral Directors

Pre-arrange one of our caskets or cremation urns and let us know (a simple email will do).
Make sure you have our latest lithos, binder, or digital images available to your families in your selection rooms.

For those funeral homes already displaying our quality craft caskets and urns, we thank you for your loyalty and support. We know you have your choice in casket and urn vendors; from everyone at the Northwoods Casket Company, we THANK YOU for your support.

General Public

Contact your local funeral home and update your funeral plan today! Include any of our caskets or cremation urns in your pre-arrangement (no need to pre-order or pre-pay). We will add 100 trees for each casket, and 10 trees for each cremation urn, that your funeral home confirms.
Encourage your family and friends to do the same.

For those of you who have already pre-arranged one of our products, remind your funeral director to let us know (a simple email will do).
