How to Choose a Casket

1. Understand the Purpose of the Casket

A casket serves as the final resting vessel for your loved one. It may be used:

  • For a funeral or memorial service

  • For burial in a cemetery

  • For cremation (in which case a combustible casket may be needed)

  • For rental purposes when cremation is planned

Each purpose may influence the type of casket that’s most appropriate.

2. Know the Types of Caskets

Burial Caskets

Typically crafted from wood or metal and designed to be placed in the ground. These may include features like sealing gaskets and decorative details.

Cremation Caskets

Made of combustible materials such as wood, cardboard, or wicker, and designed to be fully consumed during the cremation process.

Rental Caskets

A cost-effective option for services prior to cremation. These have a reusable outer shell and a removable inner container.

3. Consider the Material

Wood Caskets

  • Offer a warm, natural look

  • Come in varieties like mahogany, oak, cherry, pine

  • Each wood has its own grain, color, and feel
