RENTAL CASKETS
Families are increasingly
requesting to rent a casket. To facilitate this request we offer a casket
designed to allow for this service. The casket is a specially crafted unit
that uses an inner simple container to hold the body. This inner container has all new bedding, pillow, sides and even overlay that is replaced with each use. The casket
itself acts as a "shell" around this container making it suitable for
public visitation and viewing and funeral service as chosen by the family.

After the funeral service,
the funeral director removes the inner container from the outer casket
shell. The inner container holding the body is then transported to the place of final
disposition, usually a crematorium.
The outer casket is
reused for a number of services. Eventually the casket reaches a
point of wear and it is destroyed. Because its usage is limited, the rental
casket is replaced after a relatively small number of uses. However, due to the
reusable nature of these units they can be also appreciated by families with
environmental concerns.
