There are all kinds of different caskets that are made for people. a person can have a elegant wood casket which is a fine poplar wood casket or even a maple wood casket. also, there are a pine wood caskets which is mainly for Jewish people. Now, Jewish people have a casket called a Houdini which is a an all wood square casket made up of pine wood, and all it has is a small hole on the head side of the casket. The hole is mainly for the people that are at the funeral to see the body of the person they loved for the last time. Also, its for when they bury the casket and body with dirt, in their belief they feel the body should be touching the dirt.

They also have casket that are made specifically for cremation, now none thing to say about these caskets is that they are very heavy; they are made up of compressed wood, now you would think that it should be a little light in weight but obviously as I said it isn’t at ALL. There are also caskets that are called precious metals. These caskets are extremely heavy and extremely expensive. these caskets to a company that buys and sells caskets can go for easily 2000 dollars, but when they sell it to funeral homes they can go for about 3000, now when the funeral homes sells it to the families, the price can become 10,000 dollars. For example, a 32 Oz Solid Bronze Pieta Glass Full Open Casket price to a family can be around 18,000 dollars, mean while a casket company can get the casket for 3,000 but it will cost the funeral home 7,000. So of course everyone wants to make money because at the end of the day business is business. See you later.
