What is Full Couch Casket

A full couch casket is a funeral casket that has full-length interior padding and a hinged lid that opens to reveal the entire interior of the casket. These caskets are often made of wood or metal and can be adorned with decorative elements such as carvings, engravings, or inlaid designs.

Features of Full Couch Casket

Elegant Appearance

Full couch caskets have a classic and elegant appearance that makes them a popular choice for funeral services. With a full lid, they offer a more substantial appearance than half-couch caskets and are available in a variety of materials, including steel, bronze, and copper.

Durability

Metal full couch caskets are made from durable materials that resist decay and provide long-lasting protection for the deceased. Steel caskets are often coated with a high-gloss finish to enhance their appearance and make them more resistant to rust.

Gasketed Seal

Many full couch caskets are equipped with a rubber gasket seal, which helps to protect the contents of the casket from the elements. This gasketed seal also helps to create a tight seal that keeps air and moisture from entering the casket, helping to preserve the body inside.

Locking Mechanism

Full couch caskets often come with a locking mechanism that keeps the lid securely closed and protects the contents of the casket. This locking mechanism can provide peace of mind for families, as they know that the contents of the casket are protected and secure.

Customization

Full couch caskets can be customized with various features and options, such as engraved panels, interior linings, and custom handles. This customization can help families create a personalized and meaningful tribute to their loved one.

Types of Full Couch Casket

full couch casket with glass Full Couch Casket F2015

Cremation caskets
A cremation casket is just a container in which a body rests before and during its cremation. Because the purpose of a cremation casket is to store a body instead of displaying it, there’s not much reason for it to be half-couch. Half-couch cremation caskets may technically be available to families who want to display bodies during pre-cremation funeral services but don’t want to spend extra money on a funeral casket and a cremation casket, but they’re fairly rare.

Personalized caskets
It’s possible to personalize both full-couch caskets and half-couch caskets to a degree. That said, there are some types of unique custom caskets that are almost always full-couch. Personalizing a casket doesn’t always merely involve adding minor features like etchings or religious symbols. Although this isn’t particularly common (but also not unheard of) in the US, some choose to design custom caskets in shapes that represent the interests, occupation, or passion of the deceased. For example, when burying someone who was an avid guitarist, a family might choose a casket in the shape of a guitar. Some custom casket shapes can allow for a half-couch style lid. However, there are some shapes that can make this difficult or prohibitively expensive.

Religious caskets
Some religious faiths forbid burying someone with an open casket. Thus, some full-couch caskets are exclusively designed for certain religions.

Material of Full Couch Casket

Metal

Metal caskets are amongst the most popular today. Metal caskets are the most durable, and they’re more protective of the body within. These typically use a gasket to seal the casket from outside elements, so they’re popular in places with harsh, extreme climates. There are a few different metals to choose from, each with its own pros and cons. The most durable and expensive are bronze and copper, which will run at a higher price tag. For a more affordable metal option, stainless and carbon steel are common.

Wooden

Wooden caskets are a classic choice. Humans have used wooden caskets for thousands of years. They’re timeless, and they come in a variety of materials and styles. There are both hardwood and softwood caskets. Hardwood is the most durable choice, but it’s also more expensive. This includes woods like cherry, mahogany, maple, and pecan. Softwood is typically cloth-covered fiberboard, pressed wood, or wood veneer.

Differences Between Half Couch and Full Couch Caskets

Availability
Because half-couch caskets are more popular than full-couch caskets, they tend to be easier to find. That’s not to say that finding a full-couch casket is necessarily difficult. It simply means there’s a chance a few of the suppliers you consider when searching for caskets might only offer the half-couch variety.
However, in some instances, a full couch casket may cost more than a half-couch casket. This is something to keep in mind if you’re looking for affordable caskets. Although it’s not always the case that one variety will cost more or less than the other, because full-couch caskets are less readily available than the half-couch style, their cost can be higher due to the basics of supply and demand.

Regional popularity
Although half-couch caskets are more popular than full-couch caskets in general, there are regions where the full-couch style may be more common than it is in other parts of the world.
For example, the full-couch casket is more popular in the UK than it is in the US.

History
It’s not clear precisely why half-couch caskets began to gain in popularity when casket manufacturers and artisans first began making them. That said, some researchers believe the rise of different types of caskets might have something to do with the rise of funeral parlors.
As the funeral industry developed, funeral directors became more inclined to encourage open-casket viewings. Their increased popularity resulted in greater demand for a style of casket that would allow mourners to display only part of the deceased’s body.

Spray
It’s not uncommon at closed casket funerals for a large spray of flowers to rest on top of the casket. Naturally, this isn’t an option if the casket is open, and thus, this tends only to be an option someone considers if they’re purchasing a full-couch casket. If they’re purchasing a half-couch casket, they likely intend to leave it open for a viewing, and thus, they won’t be able to place flowers atop it.
That’s not to say they can’t add a spray of flowers later when the casket is closed, of course. You still have the option to add flowers when buying a half-couch casket. That choice is simply more common when mourners use the full-couch style.

Flag options
If you’re planning the funeral of an American veteran, you may want to display an American flag with them during their viewing. This will be a relevant factor when you determine whether you want a half-couch or full-couch casket.
According to The American Legion, if a casket is fully open, those placing the flag with the deceased should fold it into a triangle according to the traditional method and place it into the casket cap above the deceased’s left shoulder. However, if only half the casket is open (which is only an option with a half-couch casket), you should arrange the flag into three layers of folds, 10 inches each, placing it so that it covers the closed portion of the lid.
If you think this is the way you’d like to display a flag during a loved one’s viewing, you should choose the half-couch style. If you don’t have a preference, either style is fine.

Features
Some optional features are generally more commonly available in full-couch caskets than in half-couch caskets. For example, sometimes mourners may want to leave the lid entirely open to fully display their loved one’s body while still protecting it. This might also be a necessary choice at the public viewing for an important figure.
Some full-couch caskets allow for this by including an interior glass panel between the deceased’s body and the lid. This is technically an option one could include in a half-couch casket as well, but it tends to be more common in full-couch caskets.

What Size is a Full Couch Casket

Caskets come in a variety of sizes, depending on the individual. There are smaller caskets for children, and there are even oversized caskets for those who don’t fit the typical size. However, standard caskets are 84 inches long, 28 inches wide, and 23 inches tall. There is no difference in size between a full-couch and a half-couch casket. Again, the only difference in the structure of these caskets is whether the lid splits into two different pieces. Otherwise, they are the same length, width, and height. The size of the casket you choose depends on the size of the deceased. If you’re wondering how much a casket weighs, this depends on the material and size.

How Much Does a Full Couch Casket Usually Cost

Another important question is how much the casket costs. There is generally no difference between a full-couch and a half-couch casket in terms of price. The price depends on several factors including but not limited to:
● Material
● Size
● Commemorative panels
● Interior liners
● Memory tubes
● Exterior features
Most caskets fall into the $900-$2,500 range, depending on the materials you choose. Natural caskets made of materials like hemp, cardboard, or bamboo can sometimes be less expensive. These are more likely to come as a full-couch vs. a half-couch. Otherwise, there are more expensive materials like bronze or certain types of metals. You can talk to your funeral home to determine the best type of casket to fit your budget.

How Can You Save Money on a Full Couch Casket?

01/

Shop online
While you can always purchase a full-couch casket directly from your funeral home of choice, it’s often cheaper to shop online. However, you’ll have to also add in the cost of shipping with your purchase.

02/

Compare models
Before making a purchase, shop around to make sure you’re getting the cheapest version. You might find the same full-couch casket elsewhere for less.

03/

Avoid metal
Though modern and sleek, metal caskets are typically the most expensive option. They’re popular because they’re durable and secure, but you can find a similar style with a less steep price tag if you opt for wood.

04/

Eco-friendly
Most eco-friendly caskets are full-couch style. Whicker, bamboo, and hemp caskets are all usually full-couch in nature, and they’re also significantly less expensive. You don’t always need to choose a green burial to use an eco-friendly casket.

05/

Sealing
Unless you live somewhere prone to extreme weather, there is likely no real reason to choose a sealed casket. This technology costs extra, but it’s not usually required.

06/

Vault
Similarly, you don’t always need to invest in a burial vault. While some cemeteries require vaults, it depends on the specific company and your geographical location. A vault can cost a pretty penny, so skipping this could save funds to go towards the casket.

How Should You Carry the Full Couch Casket in Step with the Other Pallbearers

Safety first
Even if the family asks you to help carry the casket, you should first give it a thought. How is your physical health? Have you had any recent neck, shoulder, knee, or back injuries that carrying the casket may aggravate? You shouldn’t accept carrying the coffin if you're risking your health; it could lead to unpleasant accidents in the middle of the ceremony and even cause injury to the other pallbearers.

Lift correctly
You may lift the casket and carry it on the shoulders and lower it with the handles if it's load bearing. A shoulder carry looks more impressive, but it will put more strain on the shoulders and upper arms. If the ground is uneven and slippery, carrying the casket on shoulders is safer too.

Plan it
It’s also wise to plan out the lifting; see that the pathway is clear, above your head and underfoot. Avoid the slippery areas and the low-hanging doorways, uneven ground, and steps. Pallbearers must have similar heights, too, with shorter people going in the front and taller people in the back.

Mind the weight of the casket
It’s the deceased's body that you have to lift and carry and the casket itself, and the latter can be very heavy. It can weigh 400lbs, in which case six people will be enough for taking the coffin.

Walk slowly
It would help if you always walked slowly, as it’s both respectful and practical- the casket is heavy. If you’re taking too large steps, one of the pallbearers may not keep up with you, and it will not show nicely for the people attending the funeral either. Foot always come first and not the head. The casket should always have the foot end towards the driver to be foot first when being driven in the car. It's a symbolic step, as it reminds us of a person walking. It’s also made for practical reasons, as it will reduce the body's risk of purging. It’s essential always to maintain the head raised so that the fluids are kept down.

Keep in step and level
It's difficult for people to keep in step, but it's crucial mainly for aesthetical reasons. You won’t get on someone else’s toes too. You only have to copy the pallbearer in front of you, moving as and when he’s moving. If you’re at the front of the casket, you should pay attention to the person leading the casket (the priest, for example). If there’s nobody else at the front, you should walk evenly and as slowly as you can. While climbing up/down the stairs, you should maintain the casket level as much as you can.

Turn clockwise
Again, the clockwise movement has a symbolic meaning, reminding the moving of life. It resembles the clock turning and time passing. Plus, if all pallbearers know that they always have to rotate clockwise, there will be no misunderstanding when having to turn.

Use just one hand when holding the handle
You should hold the handle with just one hand when carrying the casket; you may only use both hands when picking up/raising or putting down the casket. Not only that, it's weird, but holding the handle with both hands is uncomfortable and inefficient too. Use the hand closest to the casket and change regularly with the pallbearer on the opposite side for comfortable carry.

Pay attention to instructions
Most of the time, the funeral conductor will tell you what to do. If you don’t know what to do, it’s better not to do anything. Pay attention and wait for the signal without getting nervous about it. It would help if you stayed still and only move when instructed. You don’t want to add an unpleasant moment to the funeral- it’s emotionally draining as it is.

Take a deep breath
Carrying the casket is a big responsibility, but you shouldn’t stress too much. You will have other people helping you, and the risk for dropping the casket is relatively low. Even if the handle comes off, the other pallbearers will be there for the rescue. Tripping or falling when carrying the casket will rarely happen.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Full Couch Casket

Q: What is a full-couch casket?

A: This is where the top end of the casket opens for viewing, leaving the bottom half covered. Some people prefer a full-couch viewing where the entire top of the casket is opened for a full body view.

Q: Is a full-couch casket one in which the lid opens?

A: In the case of full-couch caskets, the lid includes just one piece, which is typically hinged. Even the coffin can be considered to be a full-couch as the removing/opening the lid allows you to see the entire body. As the lid of the full-couch casket is open, it's possible to see the whole body of the deceased.

Q: Why do they only open half the casket?

A: For loved ones saying their final goodbyes, the departed's face is typically what they want to see before the casket is closed. A half-closed casket or blanket also looks more dignified, formal, and offers less distractions.

Q: What type of casket lasts the longest?

A: They come in various wall thicknesses, finishes, and styles. With their sleek appearance and resistance to corrosion, metal caskets are often chosen for their lasting quality.

Q: Do tall people need special caskets?

A: There are child and adult sized caskets, but if you're purchasing a casket for someone who is tall or heavy, you may need to look into an oversized casket.

Q: How long does a body last in a wooden casket?

A: The decomposition timeline of wooden caskets varies significantly based on factors such as wood type, environmental conditions, and protective measures. In the short term, wooden caskets, particularly those made from softwoods like pine and poplar, begin showing signs of rot.

Q: Why do they cover the legs in a casket?

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: Can you open a casket years later?

A: First, you should know that regardless of the type of coffin, every deceased body witnesses decay in some form. Decay may be stalled in many ways, like in the mummification of a body, but not prevented. When you open a casket after two months, one year, or ten years, there will be decay.

Q: How long do bones last in a casket?

A: If a body is buried in a coffin very deep the ground it could take 50 years for all the tissue to de-compose, and hundreds of years for the bones to fully decay.

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

A: Generally, you are not allowed to touch the body or make any comments about the person's appearance. For closed casket viewings, people are expected to show respect when they approach the casket even if they cannot see the body.

Q: Can you kiss someone in a casket?

A: If you don't want to view it alone, take a friend up to the casket with you. Avoid embracing the body. However, you can give a gentle kiss on the cheek or touch the hand. Keep in mind though that the body will feel cold and hard to the touch.

Q: Is it bad to take a picture of someone in a casket?

A: You definitely do not want to take a picture of the casket, because that can be highly disrespectful, as well. If you want to take a picture of anything specific, like a decoration or the memorial display, you will need to ask the family for permission. If they do not agree, respect their wishes and do not insist.

Q: Can a husband and wife be buried in the same casket?

A: While it may be possible if there is a big enough coffin and plot to accommodate the couple, there are many other logistical constraints that may not permit this to happen. Having a large enough casket for two may not be easily transportable.

Q: Can you put alcohol in a casket?

A: While it might seem like a great idea to put your loved one's favourite food or beverages in the casket, it's generally not allowed. It's best to avoid placing any alcohol or perishable foods that attract pests into the casket.

Q: Is it safe to kiss a person in their casket?

A: If you are afraid, have someone accompany you to the casket. When viewing the body, it is totally okay to touch the hand of your loved one or even give a kiss on the cheek. However, you should avoid attempting to hug the body.

Q: Is it OK to put something in a casket?

A: Burial goods included food, drink, tools, make-up, jewelry, pots, gold, and the like. Even though few people today believe anything placed in the casket will be used by the deceased in the afterlife the practice of placing objects in the casket is alive and well.

Q: What is it called when you see someone in a casket?

A: A time when friends and acquaintances gather at a funeral home to view the decedent's body after it has been prepared by the funeral home. This is also a time to offer condolences to the surviving family members. Also known as “visitation” or “wake.”

Q: Does water get into caskets?

A: The grave liner is traditionally made entirely of concrete, and while it will protect the area from the ground caving in, it does allow for external elements like water and dirt to come into the casket space.
