Coffin Incense Burner (18")

The Coffin Incense Burner (18") is a large wooden ash catcher shaped like a Gothic coffin, carved with a sun, moon, and star design. It's built for stick incense rather than cones: the long coffin body catches falling ash as the stick burns down, a hidden compartment inside the lid gives you a spot to store extra sticks, and vents along the top let smoke escape evenly.

Quick facts

About this piece

Rest a stick of incense in the holder and let the scent settle a room during meditation or relaxation. The dramatic coffin form doubles as a statement piece of spiritual home decor or altar decor, and since it's made of natural wood, grain, tone, and finish vary slightly from piece to piece.

How to use it

Set the burner on a flat, heat-safe surface away from anything flammable. Rest a lit stick of incense in the holder slot so the burning tip sits over the open body, letting ash drop and collect inside as it burns down. The vents on top help smoke disperse evenly rather than pooling.

Care & safety

Never leave burning incense unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Once the piece has fully cooled, empty accumulated ash and wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth — keep it away from moisture, since wood can warp or the finish can dull if it gets wet. Always burn in a well-ventilated space.

Frequently asked questions

What is this, and what's it for?
It's a large wooden ash catcher shaped like a coffin, made to hold a stick of incense while it burns and catch the falling ash. It's a decorative incense accessory, not a health product or medical device.

What kind of incense does it use?

Is it safe to burn incense in?
Yes, when used as intended: on a heat-safe surface, in a ventilated room, and never left unattended while lit.

How do I clean and care for it?
Let it cool, then empty the ash and wipe the wood with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking it in water or leaving it in damp conditions, which can affect the finish.
