Waka Moenga Carved Rosewood Casket

This majestic casket shimmers with a deep, radiant red glow when touched by sunlight — a rich, regal hue that evokes both strength and serenity.

Crafted with care and finished with a lustrous metallic glaze, it becomes more than just a resting place — it becomes a vessel of honour, love, and remembrance. As light dances across its surface, the casket comes alive with warmth and presence, symbolising a life that continues to shine even in farewell.

Ideal for those with a bold spirit or a deep love of elegance, this striking red casket speaks to journeys well-travelled and futures yet to be imagined. It is the ultimate sleeping vessel, gently guiding a loved one into the next chapter with grace, dignity, and timeless beauty.

 

Description

This beautiful Waka Moenga (sleeping vessel) carved Rosewood casket was created by our team of talented craftsmen and the carvers at Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre’s Whare Whakairo (carving studio). The components are cut in our Pahiatua factory then transported to Mt Bruce for carving. Each piece is lovingly hand-carved during the following week. The traditional Māori Puhoro design symbolises a speedy journey to the next realm.  

Once complete, the carved components are transferred back to Pahiatua to be assembled and given a stunning glossed rosewood finish.
