Native to the forests of southern Canada and the northern United States, poplar is ideal for casket manufacturing because of its strength, value, and versatility.
Poplar easily adapts to different climatic conditions and soil types, and it is often considered an inexhaustible natural resource. It is a soft hardwood with good mechanical strength and adherence, and it is also resistant to splitting.
Its fine-grained white-coloured wood has a uniform texture resulting in an attractive design once it has been worked on by the craftsmen of Victoriaville & Co.
