The Aurora Difference
|
At Aurora, the difference
is quality. In an age of high-tech manufacturing automation,
many people don't realize that much of our work is still
done by hand. We could automate these processes to save
money, but it would be at the expense of our products and
our customers.
Each component of an Aurora
casket is crafted as one might create a family heirloom—an
achievement that lasts, protects and pays tribute. Much of
Aurora's care is invested in the little things that you, or
your customers, might not notice. But these little things
can make all the difference for offering quality and lasting
value. The Aurora Difference! |

| Bronze Caskets
 |
Bronze, a semi-precious
material and an alloy of copper and either zinc or tin, is
the strongest and longest lasting of any casket construction
material.
Bronze is resistant to
corrosive elements, an important consideration in selecting
a casket.
Aurora's bronze caskets are
available with a hand-applied natural brushed finish. |

|
| |
| Copper Caskets
 |
Copper is considered a
precious metal, and evidence of its longevity rests in the
original copper roofs and pipes which survive in the world's
great architectural gems.
Copper also resists
corrosion. It is one-third stronger than stainless steel and
available in 32-ounce weight.
Aurora's copper casket
finishes are natural, brushed, or painted; finishes are
applied by skilled artisans. This natural and precious metal
expresses a remarkable life. |

|
| |
| Stainless Steel
Caskets
 |
Aurora pioneered the use of
stainless steel in casket manufacturing more than 35 years
ago. Today, stainless steel continues to provide the
greatest value to families and funeral homes.
Not only does it offer the
quality and durability of copper and bronze for the price of
standard steel, but it's a product that families understand
and value in their everyday life. |

| Steel Caskets
 |
The long-lasting nature of
metal combined with its affordability and performance make
steel caskets one of the most popular selections.
The range of colors—from
respectful blues, browns, blacks, and grays to peaceful
pastels in purples, pinks, and blues—makes each selection
unique.
Two major classifications
of Aurora's steel casket product line are 18-gauge steel and
20-gauge steel. |

| Hardwood Burial
Caskets
 |
A natural,
environmentally sound choice for caskets, hardwood is
strong, beautiful and shock-resistant. When families choose
a hardwood casket, they are leaving a legacy for the next
generation because wood is a renewable resource.
Our Hardwood burial caskets
are manufactured with the care and detailing of fine
furniture. The caskets undergo a 2-1/2-day, six-stage
production process that ensures consistent quality through
craftsmanship and attention to details.
After the casket is
assembled, it is hand-rubbed with multiple coats of lacquer.
Hardwood caskets are completed with a full-polished,
hand-rubbed high gloss or satin finish. While all Aurora
hardwood caskets can be cremated, we also offer a selection
of hardwood caskets that are ideally suited for cremation.
Aurora offers a complete
line of hardwood caskets from inexpensive veneers to
high-end mahoganies.
