CASKET FURNITURE - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If I choose to have my remains cremated, do I have to buy a casket?
A casket is not required for cremation by most states laws, but a combustible cremation container is. The container must be one that can be closed and is leak-resistant. A cardboard box constructed for this purpose is acceptable. You do not have to buy the container from the funeral establishment or crematory, but it does have to meet the standards set by the crematory.
