Do You Need A Casket?


Simply Cremations & Memorial Services recognizes that planning a funeral ceremony for a departed family member or loved one involves making multiple selections. However, an increasing number of individuals nowadays favour cremation. When preplanning, you can explain all of your objectives and expectations to our funeral director to better understand the services they provide. This professional will guide you in making your decisions and ensure you obtain the required plan and services.

The Various Types of Caskets

Many persons are uncertain whether a casket is essential for the funeral. Yes, however, the casket does not need to be similar to the one used at a funeral ceremony.

Caskets made of oak or metal may be expensive, and if you want to be cremated, a basic wooden or cardboard casket will suffice. These are generally offered by third-party businesses and come in several forms, including:

  • Engineered wood
  • Semi-metal
  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Biodegradable

You can choose a standard or custom casket depending on your preferences and budget if you have planned a funeral service. The crematorium's incinerator will only take wooden caskets, and they will not allow metal ones.

You can select a customized casket from various materials with motifs and embellishments. Most funeral homes offer comprehensive packages, and you can choose the one that best matches your needs. You may have in-depth conversations with our funeral director about your preferences and then make a final selection.
