Abbey Caskets to visit Ky. State Fair

Abbey Caskets, a work of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad, IN, will be exhibiting its wooden caskets and cremation urns at the Kentucky State Fair.

The fair runs from August 20-30 at the Kentucky State Fairgrounds in Louisville.

Abbey Caskets, located in Booth 31 in the south wing of Expo Hall, will feature its handcrafted wooden caskets and cremation urns, which are produced in southern Indiana from native hardwoods, including oak, poplar, cherry and walnut.

Abbey Caskets staff will answer questions and explain how a Benedictine monastery decided to sell caskets, including a design modeled on the simple shaped casket used by the Saint Meinrad monks for more than a century.

Abbey Caskets, now in its 10th year of business, sells wooden caskets and cremation urns directly to the public. For more information, contact Abbey Caskets at (800) 987-7380 or info@abbeycaskets.com. The Web site is www.abbeycaskets.com.
