CEREMONIAL CASKETS

Families are increasingly requesting to rent a casket. To facilitate this request, we offer a "ceremonial" casket designed to allow for this service. The casket is a specially crafted unit that facilitates an inner, simple plywood container to hold the body. The casket itself acts as a "shell" around this container making it suitable for public visitation and viewing.


 

After the funeral service, the funeral director removes the inner container from the outer casket shell. The inner container holding the body is then transported to the crematorium for cremation. 

The outer casket is reused for a number of services. Eventually the casket reaches a point of wear and it is destroyed. A new casket is then used. Due to the reusable nature of these units, they are often appreciated by families with environmental concerns.
