  • cremated to ashes, then what happens to the ashes?

  • @The391956 The ashes are collected in an urn and the urn can be placed in the family room or inside a niche or tomb in a cemetery. In California, the disposal of the ashes or the placement of the containing urn must be registered with the county office.

  • I say just cut some plywood hammer the pieces toghether and put a comfator on the inside and thats it. Cause really its no point in all the extreme design the dead person is not thinking about that.

  • If you are talking about casket for cremation, there is even cheaper option. Cardboard box! Wood or paper, all turns to ash after the process. However, for burial in urban cemeteries, I believe the caskets are required to stand the test of time to prevent leakage into city ground water and for other sanitary reasons.

  • when i die i would want to be burried with my ipod and maybe my wife so i could have entertainment and make a death baby :))

  • @PAL122995 great ambition. The kings and emperors did the same except they didn't have iPods.

  • thought this was a death metal band or something...

  • Batesville really is the best. The cheap boxes from China & Mexico do not stand up to the craftsmanship and design choices Batesville offers.

  • hey guys imagine this....i want my casket outside painted woodland cammo:D with my beloved m60 on top of it hehe:D

  • Why make caskets that last for hundreds if not thousands of years?

    Would you really want your body to lay in the ground that long?

    Not me.

  • You mean they havent outsourced the manufacture of these to Mexico yet?

    Seriously though, i would love working in a place like that. I love working with steel, with modern CNC machinery and welding. I'd rather do that than sit in back of a desk. Sadly those kind of jobs are just so hard to find these days. Thats life though. Err, in this case death.

  • @kambridge967 And when your home-made job falls apart while being carried by the pall-bearers?

  • @cplai Cardboard caskets are not always the answer. If the person is "oversized", a cardboard casket will not be sufficient.

  • @pawnworks

    That is so true, why not with the weeds!!!!
