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. |
