It pays to have end-of-life plans in place, regardless of your age or current health status. To create these important documents, you’ll need to have a solid understanding of your options—including a cremation, memorial, and funeral. To get started, read this list of facts about burial caskets so you gain a better understanding of the selection.

3 Facts About Burial Caskets

1. Materials

Burial caskets are available in a variety of materials. Depending on your budget and personal preferences, you may choose from cloth-covered, steel, wood, or even metal caskets. Some options, such as copper, last longer, while bamboo and woven banana leaf disintegrate faster and are more environmentally friendly.

2. Rental Options

For many people, it doesn’t make sense to buy a casket if the deceased won’t be buried. Instead, many funeral homes allow people to rent caskets to use before the cremation.

3. Special Features

Some people think of burial caskets as mere boxes. While minimalist styles are available, some individuals prefer to add special features to their caskets. Whether you line the inside with puncture-resistant, leak-proof fabric or sentimental images, there are plenty of ways to personalize a casket.
