Irish Excellence in Solid Oak Craftsmanship
The Tara takes its name from the Hill of Tara in County Meath, the ancient seat of Irish High Kings and one of Ireland’s most significant historical and spiritual sites. Like the hill that has stood for millennia as a symbol of Irish heritage and sovereignty, this exceptional coffin represents the pinnacle of Irish coffin craftsmanship, combining fully solid oak construction with traditional Irish design and your choice of finishing.
Fully Solid Oak Throughout
The Tara is an Irish produced traditional coffin constructed entirely from solid oak – not veneer, not engineered materials, but genuine solid oak timber throughout. This represents the highest standard of coffin construction, ensuring authenticity, permanence, and the natural beauty of real oak from top to bottom. The solid oak construction provides exceptional strength and durability while showcasing the wood’s magnificent grain patterns, warm honey tones, and natural character that make oak one of the world’s most revered hardwoods.
Solid Timber Base
Adding to the premium quality, The Tara features a solid timber base that provides additional structural integrity and demonstrates complete commitment to solid wood construction throughout every component. This solid base ensures that the coffin is built to the highest standards from every angle, reflecting Irish craftsmanship traditions that refuse to compromise on quality or materials.
Traditional Irish Design
The coffin features a traditional Irish shape that has been refined over generations of Irish funeral traditions. This classic form provides familiar, comforting proportions while showcasing the exceptional quality of the solid oak construction. The traditional design honours Irish heritage and cultural continuity, offering families a choice that connects to centuries of Irish craftsmanship and funeral customs.
Choice of High Gloss or Satin Finish
The Tara offers your choice between high gloss or satin finish, allowing families to select the appearance that best honours their loved one or suits their preferences. The high gloss finish creates a lustrous, mirror-like surface that adds depth and luxury, while the satin finish provides a softer, more subtle sheen that emphasizes the oak’s natural beauty with understated elegance. Both finishes are expertly applied to enhance and protect the solid oak while showcasing its magnificent grain patterns.
Distinguished Oval Plate Brass Handles
The coffin is fitted with oval plate brass handles that add both traditional elegance and functional utility. These brass handles feature classic oval plate designs that have been hallmarks of quality coffin hardware for generations. The brass material provides lasting beauty and durability while adding warm, lustrous accents that complement the rich oak tones perfectly.
Your Choice of Interior Lining
The Tara offers your choice of interior lining, allowing families to personalize this premium coffin to reflect their loved one’s preferences or create their desired presentation. The interior lining options are selected from quality materials that complement the superior solid oak construction, providing comfort, dignity, and beautiful presentation worthy of this exceptional coffin.
The Pinnacle of Irish Coffin Craft
The Tara is the ideal choice for families seeking the finest Irish coffin craftsmanship, authentic solid oak construction throughout, and traditional design excellence. This Irish produced masterpiece combines fully solid oak, traditional shape, choice of premium finishes, brass hardware, and customizable interior to create a coffin of exceptional quality and enduring beauty – a distinguished tribute that honours Irish heritage, superior materials, and a life deserving of the finest craftsmanship.
