ST. MEINRAD – Abbey Caskets has opened a new production facility on the campus of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad.
The new workshop, which builds wooden caskets and cremation urns, is open for public tours.
Abbey Caskets was established in 1999 to sell wooden caskets and cremation urns directly to the public. The simple caskets include a design based on the casket used to bury the Benedictine monks.
Last fall, a building previously used by Abbey Press was emptied, cleaned and painted.
