| Cremation caskets and containers are available in a wide
variety of styles and prices and can be categorized in four
different groups: Traditional Wood Caskets, Wood Cremation Caskets,
Hardboard Caskets and Fiberboard Containers. Though each container
has its unique features, you will want to consider the type of
service that is planned before making any decisions. For example,
when a traditional ceremony has been scheduled, many families prefer
the design and ornamentation of a traditional or cremation casket.
However, if a memorial service (without the body present) is
planned, you may opt for a hardboard or fiberboard container.
Alternative containers are also available; however, they offer no
interiors and are often constructed of cardboard. These are suitable
when no viewing or service has been scheduled. |
