What is Casket

 

 

Caskets are special boxes that hold the remains of the departed. They have a rectangular shape with four sides to them. Rails are placed along the sides of the casket. Many caskets can get used for both burials and cremations. You can tell a casket by the material that is used to construct it. Most caskets are made of either wood or metal. Once they are constructed, caskets are then lined with cloth so that the deceased may rest peacefully.

Facilitates transportation of the deceased
When loved ones die in a foreign country or in a place away from home, the bereaved families might want to transport their bodies back home to give them a proper burial. Depending on the location, it may even take days to transport the deceased. By using a coffin, family members can transport their loved ones in a dignified and respectful manner with the least possible decay. And since most caskets and coffins are often provided with bars or railings on the side, pall-bearers can safely carry the body to the burial site. With the body being encased in a coffin, the deceased can be lowered safely and in a respectful manner into the grave without causing much of a disturbance.

 

Provides the deceased with a peaceful home
Many family members might not be comfortable with the idea of burying their close ones directly in the ground, in other words also known as Natural Burial. With a coffin, they can provide the deceased with a safe and private resting space, protected from the environment and other elements. Moreover, both coffins and caskets are also lined and padded with soft materials that provide cushioning and a snug fit to the body. This allows family members to take comfort in the fact that they were able to lay the deceased to rest in a peaceful home.

 

Protects funeral home staff, friends, and family
Being in close contact with the deceased comes with many health risks due to the onset of decomposition. This is especially true in the case of deaths due to infectious diseases and illnesses. By encasing the body in a coffin, you can avoid the spread of diseases and infections due to being in close proximity. In addition to protecting funeral home staff, who are often tasked with the responsibility of preparing the deceased for a burial, coffins also act as a protective barrier for both friends and family members involved in the last rites of their loved ones before a burial.

 

Enables funeral services
Many might want to conduct a final farewell service before laying their deceased to rest. With a coffin, family members can conduct a respectful funeral service surrounded by friends and other relatives. That said, a coffin is more practical for services where the body of the deceased is not displayed for a viewing. On the other hand, when it comes to funerals with open viewing, caskets are seemingly the better option. If you’re finding it hard to choose a coffin vs a casket for a funeral service, remember that there’s no right choice. The ultimate decision on whether a coffin or a casket is right for a funeral service rests with the family members of the deceased.

 

Types of Casket
 

Metal Caskets

Metal caskets are usually constructed from bronze, copper, or stainless steel. Bronze and copper caskets are typically higher-end products due to their no-rust properties and long-lasting durability. Steel caskets are still durable but less expensive and easier to source. They are often categorized by “gauge,” referring to the thickness of the steel. The lower the gauge, the thicker the metal.

Wood Caskets

Wood caskets are primarily made out of solid hardwood or furniture-grade wood veneer. The types of wood used vary, and might be constructed from oak, maple, poplar, pine, mahogany, walnut, and more. Hardwood caskets tend to be more expensive than softwood models, but all wood caskets come in various finishes such as high gloss polish, satin, or cloth-covered. Some families prefer a “simple pine box” with a plain natural finish (no stain or varnish).

Cremation Caskets

Cremation caskets are used to hold the deceased’s remains before they are placed in the cremation chamber. A cremation casket can be constructed out of wood, as well as natural materials like wicker, particleboard, or cardboard (cardboard boxes are usually known as “alternative containers”). Families can select any casket they like for the cremation process as long as it is rigid, leak-proof, combustible, non-toxic, and doesn’t feature any metal parts.

Biodegradable Caskets

Caskets made out of natural, biodegradable materials are becoming more popular with the growth of green funerals. “Green” caskets use a variety of renewable and/or recyclable materials including bamboo, cardboard, organic cotton, and willow, and don’t feature metal parts or chemical paints/veneers. Some funeral homes carry biodegradable caskets but can also be purchased from online retailers. Prices are usually cheaper if you buy online but shipping fees can add a significant amount to the bottom line.

Rental Caskets

Rental caskets are the same as metal or wood caskets except they have a removable insert that allows them to be used more than once. The deceased’s body is placed in a simple box or container, and then positioned in the rental casket to give the appearance that the body is in a “real” casket. Most funeral homes stock rental caskets in their inventory. These are practical options for families who want to hold an affordable funeral service but can’t afford a brand-new casket. Rental caskets are also eco-friendly due to their reusable nature.

DIY Caskets

You can build your own casket using inexpensive materials. There are several DIY casket kits sold online or in bookstores, complete with instructions on how to make a casket from scratch. Depending on your skill level, taking the time to build a casket can save on funeral costs. These are also excellent ways to memorialize a loved one with a unique, personalized tribute.

 

6 Different Types of Materials Used for Caskets
 

Solid wood

Solid wood is a traditional and popular material used for caskets in the UK. The most common types of wood used for caskets are oak, mahogany, and ash. These types of wood are known for their strength, durability, and attractive appearance. caskets made from solid wood can be polished or varnished to provide a high-quality finish and can be customised with different designs and engravings.

 

Veneered wood

Veneered wood is another popular material. It’s made by bonding a thin layer of high-quality wood to a cheaper base material such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard). This creates a strong and durable casket that has a similar appearance to solid wood but at a more affordable price point. Again, these caskets can be customised and personalised accordingly.

 

Cardboard

Cardboard caskets have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their affordability and eco-friendliness. They are made from recycled cardboard and can be decorated with a whole range of designs and patterns. Cardboard caskets are lightweight, easy to handle, and can be easily disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. They’re often chosen by those who want to reduce their environmental impact and who prefer a more natural and simple approach to burial.

 

Wicker

Wicker caskets are made from woven wool, bamboo, or other natural fibres. They possess a rustic and natural appearance and are often chosen for eco-friendly or green burials. Wicker caskets are biodegradable and can decompose naturally in the soil. They are also another lightweight option and are a popular choice for outdoor funerals or burials in rural areas.

 

Metal

Metal caskets are made from steel, copper, or bronze and are known for their strength and durability. They’re often used for burials that require a high level of protection or for burials that involve transportation over long distances. Metal caskets can be customised with various finishes and designs, including brushed, polished, or painted options.

 

Eco-friendly materials

In addition to cardboard and wicker, there are several other eco-friendly materials that can be used for caskets in the UK. These include bamboo, seagrass, and recycled materials such as recycled paper or wool. Eco-friendly caskets are often chosen by those who have a far more sustainable approach to burials.

 

Casket Features
 

Interior Linings – Casket linings are composed of fabric sewn into the interior of the box. Most linings are made out of polyester (including the crepe designs in many modern caskets), but velvet, silk, and satin fabrics are also popular. Interior linings can be customized with panels that reflect the deceased’s personality (e.g. camouflage, military, sports teams)

 

Shell Design – Casket exteriors can be wrapped in high-quality images to make them truly unique, or molded into distinct shapes that celebrate the life of the deceased (e.g., in Ghana, eccentric caskets are the societal norm).

 

Casket Lids – Casket lids come in two types – half couch and full couch. Half couch lids come in two pieces to allow the deceased’s upper body to be displayed during a viewing or visitation. A full couch lid allows for the entire body to be viewed in the event of an open-casket funeral.

 

Memory Tube – Some caskets feature a leak-proof compartment in the lid which holds identification information. The memory tube is very useful in identifying remains without reopening the lid in the event the casket is ever disentombed.

 

Exterior Features – These include handles, personalized casket “corners,” ornamental medallions, and more.

 

What Is the Difference Between Coffins and Caskets
 
 

One of them tends to be tapered at the head, wide at the shoulders, while another one can either have a rectangular shape or resemble that specialty coffin. The former option may end up being more cost-effective than its other counterpart because it has better standards from when it was made.

 
 

A casket can be made of wood, metal, or fiberglass. It has four sides (or six if it's an expensive one), and typically includes handles on either side for carrying. Coffins have three sides with two pieces of material that fold over to create the fourth side. They often include hinges at each end so they can open more easily in order to put the body inside. Caskets usually cost more than coffins because they're prettier and fancier.

 
 

Unlike caskets, coffins have six sides and are wider on the top than on the bottom. This tapered design was chosen to match the shape of the body as the shoulders are wider than the feet. Coffins also do not have hinged lids. Instead, they have removable lids that must be fully lifted.

 
 

The vast majority of coffins are made out of wood and are also finished with cloth interior linings, but they do not have exterior handles for carrying. In fact, any additional decoration or handles are not considered part of the coffin but are instead called “coffin furniture.” Traditionally coffin furniture is used to display the deceased’s wealth or status.

 

 

Casket Origins: A History

 

Coffins are also known by different terms in different countries. They are called coffins in the United States, caskets in Canada, and coffretts or coffrets in France. Coffers can be found in Italy (where they’re referred to as a coperchio), and there’s even a word for them in Russia—kufon. In Germany coffins are referred to as Sargs, while coffret is used during funeral services.


Today coffins are available with many design variations to suit each family’s needs including those made from metal, teak wood, wickerwork, or bamboo–to name just a few examples. They may be rectangular, square, or rounded (to resemble a traditional Chinese cypress coffer).


The primary difference between coffins and caskets is the size. A coffin is six feet long—from head to toe—and will hold an adult, whereas a casket is from 22 to 28 inches long and provides plenty of room for the legs. Typically, coffins are used for children or infants as well as people that families can not fit into a full-sized casket. This may include very large adults or those with advanced age conditions. Coffins are also recognized by their removable lid which makes viewing possible prior to burial–in fact, coffins were originally designed for this specific purpose. On the other hand, caskets have a solid metal or wooden top which cannot be opened. Both coffins and caskets can be shaped like a rectangular box, urn, or rounded shape to reflect the deceased person’s personality.

 

Choosing the Right Casket

 

 
 

Understanding the Purpose of a Casket

A casket, sometimes referred to as a coffin, acts as the final resting place for a departed loved one. It's not just a vessel for burial or cremation; it plays a crucial role in the memorial ceremony, honoring the life of the deceased. The right choice reflects the personality, taste, and sometimes, the final wishes of your loved one.

 
 

Material Options for Caskets

Caskets come in a variety of materials, each offering unique aesthetic and durability factors. Traditional materials include various types of wood (like mahogany, pine, and walnut) and metal (such as stainless steel, bronze, and copper). These materials can be shaped and detailed to create a casket that is as unique as the individual it commemorates.

 
 

Considering the Budget

Financial implications are an undeniable part of the process. It's crucial to set a budget that you are comfortable with. Remember, the most expensive option isn't necessarily the best one. It's the thought and sentiment that truly counts. Prices for caskets can vary widely, so having a knowing exactly what you can afford can significantly narrow down your options and prevent undue stress.

 
 

Size and Style of the Casket

Caskets come in various sizes and styles, and the right choice often depends on personal preferences. From minimalist designs to more elaborate creations featuring intricate detailing and personal touches, mortuaries can accommodate a range of tastes.

 
 

Interior Features to Consider

The interior of the casket, also known as the casket lining or casket bed, offers another layer of personalization. Materials typically range from crepe and satin to more luxurious options like velvet, allowing you to select an option that complements the exterior.

 
 

The Importance of Casket Seals

A protective seal is an optional feature that can aid in keeping the water and other elements out of the casket. While not necessary, it can provide an added layer of protection. Sealed caskets feature a rubber gasket that runs around the lid, which is engaged when the lid is closed.

 
 

Selecting a Casket Vendor

Researching vendors can help you find a reliable provider who offers high-quality products. Look for testimonials, reviews, and ask for recommendations from trusted sources.

 
 

Respecting Cultural and Religious Beliefs

Cultural and religious beliefs often play a significant role in casket selection. Ensure that your chosen casket aligns with these traditions and customs, promoting a respectful and meaningful service.

Casket Color Symbolism

The color of a casket can also speak volumes about the person whose remains it contains. Commonly used colors and their symbolisms include:
White: Signifying purity, innocence, and peace, white is often chosen for the caskets of children and the elderly.
Blue: Symbolizes tranquility and comfort, a reflection perhaps of the peaceful rest that death brings.
Black: The universal color of mourning, black caskets symbolize loss, grief, and respect for the dead.

 

Casket Care and Preservation

Keep the casket in a cool, dry place
Extreme temperatures and humidity can cause damage to a casket, so it is important to store it in a cool and dry place. This will help to prevent warping, cracking, and other forms of damage.

 

Protect the casket from the elements
If the casket will be stored outside, be sure to protect it from the elements by covering it with a tarp or other waterproof covering. This will help to prevent damage from rain, snow, and other forms of precipitation.

 

Clean the casket regularly
Clean the casket regularly to remove dust and other debris. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water to gently wipe down the casket. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can cause damage.

 

Maintain the finish
Many caskets are finished with a coat of paint or varnish. Over time, this finish may become dull or scratched. To maintain the finish, use a mild furniture polish and a soft cloth to gently buff the surface.

Inspect the casket regularly

Regularly inspect the casket for any signs of damage or wear. This includes checking for warping, cracking, and other forms of damage. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer or a professional casket restorer for assistance.

Store it upright

Caskets are designed to be stored upright, not on its side. This will prevent any unnecessary stress on the joints, which can cause them to weaken over time.

Avoid storing it in damp basements

Basements are known for being damp and humid, which can be detrimental to the casket. It's best to store it somewhere else, like a garage or attic.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Casket

They'll bathe the body.
They'll groom the body, if necessary.

Q: How many years does a casket last?

A: One of the biggest factors is the water table. It also depends if the grave has a liner to prevent water from reaching the casket. As much as a metal casket can last 80-100 years under favorable conditions, if the grace site has a lot of moisture getting into it, it can rot in as little as 25 years or less.

Q: Why do they cross your arms in a casket?

A: Body positioning. Burials may be placed in a number of different positions. Bodies with the arms crossed date back to ancient cultures such as Chaldea in the 10th century BC, where the "X" symbolized their sky god.

Q: Why are caskets buried 6 feet deep?

A: An ancient practice of burying dead people six feet underground may have helped mask the odor of decay from predators. Similarly, random disturbances, such as plowing, would be unable to reach a person buried six feet underneath. Preventing the Spread of Disease was another major reason.

Q: Can water get into a casket?

A: When caskets are interred without a Burial Vault, as the diagram shows, it is exposed to the elements and susceptible to the weight of the earth pressing down on it. Also, water may penetrate the casket, especially if the casket used is a non-sealer metal casket or wood casket.

Q: Why are caskets buried facing east?

A: Speaking of Christians, the practice of east-facing tombstones can also be traced to the bible. The scripture, which talks about the second coming of Christ, teaches that he will come from the east. This belief also affects how Christian churches are built.

Q: Can you reopen a casket after burial?

A: Beyond our curiosity to imagine what happens to the body in a casket, several circumstances have warranted the exhumation of a burial. The most common of these is during a criminal investigation for forensic studies.

Q: Do they reuse caskets?

A: Some people think that crematoriums save, reuse, or resell coffins. But that would require a market for secondhand coffins, which not many people are likely to buy! It would not be hygienic to reuse coffins. After we die, our bodies can spread bacteria, which can contaminate the coffin.

Q: Is it okay to touch a body in a casket?

Q: Why do they cover legs in caskets?

A: The most common reason for covering legs in an open-casket setting is that the primary focus of these showings is the departed's face, and covering the legs can help draw focus to that area.

Q: Why do people look different in caskets?

A: Embalmed bodies look different than living people as the blood is replaced with embalming chemicals. The patrician tries his or her best to make the body look as natural as possible, but still, some results may be better or worse than others. But there are cases when the embalmed body is better than when they died.
