Caskets

A casket serves two purposes: it holds the deceased, and it allows for the remains to be moved from one location to another, should that need arise. A casket can also be personalized to reflect the personality of the deceased, such as a space for loved ones to write their goodbyes right onto the casket, or affix emblems or place personal items inside before burial.

On a deeper level, the casket plays another role. Often, people have difficulty coming to terms with the death. For some, having a casket at a funeral service can help enlighten them with what’s happened, and help them come to terms with their loss.

Caskets come in numerous designs, from plain to elaborate, and may be made from wood, cloth covered or metal.
