Authentic Solid Wood Caskets, Handcrafted in the Heart of Texas
About Our Company

Stephen Wusterhausen - Owner | Operations | Sales
It started with a simple wish from his father: “Son, I want you to make my casket.”
For most, it might seem like an unusual request—but for longtime sawyer Stephen Wusterhausen, it was a fitting and honorable endeavor. Knowing that “the day” would eventually come, his father wanted a special, handcrafted casket made with care and sentiment by his son—whom he had entrusted with the family sawmill business and taught the invaluable trade of master carpentry.
Stephen comes from a hardworking and ingenious Texas family—true jack-of-all-trades—able to mill, design, fabricate, construct, and fix just about anything, all while tending to farm life and family. Honored to fulfill his father’s request, Stephen researched, designed, and constructed a prototype model of his father’s casket. During the research phase, he began to seriously consider expanding his business into the funeral industry. With a full-scale sawmill facility at his disposal, Stephen made the decision to venture into specialty casket manufacturing, confident in his ability to produce high-quality, artisan caskets at a fair and competitive price.
His father, Oscar, lived to see his wish fully realized with the launch of the casket division in 2013. Oscar Lee Wusterhausen went to be with our Lord on February 27, 2015. He leaves behind a legacy of talent, faith, and fortitude—and remains forever in our hearts.
