At Winscombe Furniture, we’ve spent decades crafting high-quality furniture for churches and places of reflection. Building on this heritage, we now design and manufacture bespoke catafalques for crematoria and chapels—each made to suit its setting with quiet dignity.

Designed to Belong
Our catafalques are created to complement their surroundings—not dominate them. We work closely with architects, designers, and service teams to ensure every detail aligns with the overall space. From traditional chapels to contemporary crematoria, we shape each piece to feel naturally integrated, both in style and scale.

Built with Thoughtful Functionality

Each catafalque is individually made to order, tailored in size and finish. For ease of use during services, options include:

• Rollers for gentle, straight-line removal of the coffin
• Ball bearings to allow for smoother movement in multiple directions
•. Choice of timber finishes – beech, oak, ash, and walnut
• Flush or a setback plinth for that “floating look”

All are constructed to support up to a minimum weight capacity of 300kg (47.2 stones), offering both strength and ease of handling where it matters most.

Materials and Finish Options
We offer a selection of high-quality veneered finishes for the side panels:

•    Beech
•    Ash
•    Oak
Panels can be kept plain for simplicity, or made with a decorative design for a more detailed aesthetic. All finishes can be stained to match surrounding furniture, ensuring harmony within the space.

Co-ordinated Timber Furniture
To accompany our catafalques, we also craft a range of bespoke timber furniture for crematoria and chapels, including:

• Lecterns made to complement your setting and usage
• Side tables and flower stands, matched in material and tone
Each item is designed and finished by hand, ensuring a unified appearance across your space. Price on application.

Everything we make is produced to order, and we’re always happy to work with clients on designs that respect both function and atmosphere.

Delivery and Installation
We take great care in ensuring that each catafalque is delivered and installed with the attention it deserves. Transportation and on-site fixing are included as part of our service, and due to the nature of these installations, time and care are essential.
To provide an accurate quotation, we kindly ask that you supply the full installation address when making an enquiry. This allows us to plan appropriately and ensure everything is placed precisely and respectfully on site.

For larger quantities, please call the sales team for “larger” quantity discounts.
