Coffin/Casket

Both coffins and caskets serve as burial containers that hold the body or ashes of the departed. These days, most families prefer caskets to coffins. In this country, most families do not buy caskets.

Caskets are special boxes that hold the remains of the departed. They have a rectangular shape with four sides to them. Rails are placed along the sides of the casket. Many caskets can get used for both burials and cremations.

Most caskets are made of either wood or metal. Once they are constructed, caskets are then lined with cloth so that the deceased may rest peacefully.

Unlike caskets, coffins have six sides to them instead of four. Plus, the top of the coffin is wider than its bottom. Coffins get tapered to conform to the shape of a human form. A coffin also has a removable lid while caskets have lids with hinges. The choice between a casket and a coffin is entirely up to you and your family.
