Most often a ceremonial (rental) casket is chosen. This casket is used for the services and/or visitation. Prior to cremation, the interior with the deceased is removed and cremated. We also offer many cremation caskets where the deceased would remain in the casket for cremation. Both of these options are much more cost efficient than purchasing a traditional casket.
