Although it might seem slightly macabre to some, the wooden handle in the photo below is actually used on a coffin.

It was originally designed for a different use, but a number of years back I had a request from a coffin manufacturer as to whether we had any handles that were different to the traditional turned ones that we have always done.

I remembered that we had made this at some stage and sent them a sample to test out. They liked it and introduced it to one of their designs of coffins.

It is quite an involved product to make, so the price is a bit higher than the traditional ones, but it does present a nice look.
