What are the different types of burial caskets?
Most caskets are made of either hardwood or metal. Metal caskets, including those made from bronze, copper, stainless steel and steel, are known for their protective features and unique finishes. Bronze and copper are among the most durable and beautiful of metals; both are naturally non-rusting. Stainless and carbon steel caskets come in a variety of grades, gauges, styles, and finishes. They are manufactured and tested to be completely resistant to the entrance of air and water. Metal caskets combine lasting protection. Hardwood caskets include a wide variety of species: Mahogany, Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Oak, Pecan, Poplar, and Pine. The warmth, beauty and personality it brings to fine furniture ideally suited it for the construction of quality caskets.
