Choosing A Cremation Casket Or Container

Choosing A Cremation Casket Or Container

Cremation caskets are a dignified way of moving the mortal remains of a deceased person until it is time for the cremation. Some families also conduct a visitation before the funeral and in this case, the casket will be placed in the venue. However, if you have opted for cremation and are selecting a casket to place the body, you must ensure there are no metal parts in the casket such as any hardware or decorations. It also needs to be sturdy and leak-proof.

Cremation Casket Options

At Simply Cremations & Funeral Services, we deliver customized funeral services. There are numerous types of caskets to choose from and our experts will help you with all the information you need about these. Some things to consider while selecting one include:
  • Material- Since the casket will be incinerated with your loved one’s mortal remains, look for an eco-friendly material. Oak or any other wood will work.|

  • Containers- If you are looking for a cost-effective material, particleboard is a good choice. Cardboard containers are another pocket-friendly material option.
