Batesville recently launched two patent-pending oversize hardwood caskets, engineered to provide a full 28 inches of interior width while still fitting into a standard vault. The latest additions to Dimensions, Batesville’s oversize casket collection, the Bailey 28 and Clifton 28 include the company’s Family Choices personalization features.

Jenn Parvin, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Batesville, notes that approximately 75,000 funerals will require an oversize casket in 2025. Batesville’s patent-pending construction and design provide approximately 1 inch of additional interior width without adding to the exterior dimensions. This allows the caskets to fit in a standard-size burial vault. The Bailey 28 and Clifton 28 complement Batesville’s current Dimensions line, which already included a selection of 28-inch metal caskets that fit into a standard vault.

Accentuated by a khaki fabric interior and Charpente interior system, the Bailey 28 features a satin pecan finish and embossed swing bar. The Bailey can accommodate four Family Choices corner designs at no additional charge and is available in half- and full-couch models.

The Clifton 28 has a Victorian cherry stain and crepe interior with a dual overlay for added flexibility. The built-in LifeView decorative panel can be personalized with family photos or mementos, and the casket can be fitted out with one of more than 80 LifeStories corner or medallion designs. batesville.com
