^% ^ ^^
a funeral is pick a casket. Aren 't all caskets alike '/ ^^m * m
A IM II
. No. Caskets vary widely in design, material and price. A casket selection is a very personal
decision and an expression of your feelings. When selecting a casket ,most families make a choice
that reflects the personality and taste of a loved one as a final tribute to their life.
Caskets fall into two basic categories; metal caskets and hardwoods. Metal caskets include
those made from bronze , copper , stainless steel and steel. They are known for their protective
features and appealing finishes. Bronze and copper are among the most durable and beautiful.
Stainless and carbon steel caskets come in a variety of grades, styles and finishes.
Hardwood caskets include a variety of woods such as mahogany, walnut , cherry, maple,
oak, pecan, poplar and pine. These caskets are the choice of families who prefer the aesthetic
qualities of natural wood.
A variety of options are also available to customize a casket to reflect the personality of a loved
one. You may choose from a variety of color and fabric for the interior and various emblems and
inscriptions on the exterior that will reflect something important about the individual's life.
