HOW COMMON IS IT TO BURY FAVORITE ITEMS IN A CASKET?
It is very common to bury special items in a casket with a loved one. Each family has its own thoughts and ideas as to what makes a service meaningful to them. Things like footballs, trophies, ball gloves, books, pictures drawn by the grandchildren, cigarettes, six packs of beer, photographs, and all kinds of jewelry are left inside. The ultimate decision rests with the family. There are no laws governing what can or cannot be buried. The casket itself can be personalized with customized lid panels reflecting a preferred theme, or embroidered with a family tree listing children’s names or the name of the deceased, with birth date and death date.
