The softwood species most often used in the US for wooden caskets is poplar.
The terminology of softwood and hardwood is somewhat misleading, as hardwoods are not necessarily always hard, and softwoods are not necessarily always soft. The wood from conifers (needle or cone bearing trees) is called softwood, the wood from broad-leaved trees is called hardwood. Other softwoods used in caskets are pine, spruce, red cypress, cedar and redwood.p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }
