Each container blank has first and second folded over ends. The container blanks are stacked such that the first folded over ends of the plurality of container blanks are at least partially aligned, and such that the second folded over ends of the plurality of container blanks are at least partially aligned. Each lid blank is foldable into a casket lid having at least approximately the first length, and is configured to cover an interior of the casket container. Each lid blank is folded over a widthwise fold line such that the lid blank has a length less than the first length. A first lid blank is disposed between two container blanks, and between folded over ends of one of the container blanks.

A lid for a casket includes a folded corrugated structure, a top plank, and side planks. The folded corrugated structure has a top panel having a length and width, a first side panel foldably attached to the top panel along a first long edge, a second side panel foldably attached to the top panel along a second long edge. The top plank is affixed to the top panel and extends a majority of the length and width of the top panel. One side plank is affixed to the first side panel, and extends a majority of a length of the first side panel. Another side plank is affixed to the second side panel, and extends a majority of a length of the second side panel. The top plank and the side planks are formed of one or more solid materials having a rigidity greater than that of the corrugated structure.

The invention provides a container for a funerary box. Embodiments include a tray, a jacket, retaining straps, and detachable lift handles. The tray is configured to retain fluids and also cooperate with the jacket and retaining straps to fully protect and conceal the funerary box. Preferred materials selections for the tray and jacket result in a relatively lightweight container. In embodiments of the invention, the container is configured such that the lift handles can be disposed in alternative locations on the container to facilitate handling.

A cardboard casket includes a top piece and a bottom piece. The top piece is formed by making a single press die cut in a reinforced core cardboard panel, including cutting the reinforced core cardboard panel to form the top piece and forming seams in the top piece. The bottom piece is formed by making another single press die cut in another reinforced core cardboard panel, including cutting the other reinforced core cardboard panel to form the bottom piece and forming seams in the bottom piece. Cutting the top and bottom pieces includes cutting through a first layer, a reinforced core, and a second layer of the reinforced core cardboard panels. Forming seams in the top and bottom pieces includes deforming the first layer in the seams, deforming a majority of the reinforced core in the seams, and leaving the second layer in the seam uncut.

A biodegradable casket assembly for burying remains of a deceased individual includes a casket which is comprised of pressed cannabis thereby facilitating the casket to decompose when the casket is buried with human remains. An insert is insertable into the casket and the insert is comprised of a rigid material such that the insert impart structural rigidity to the casket. A lid is comprised of pressed cannabis thereby facilitating the lid to decompose when the lid and the casket are buried with human remains. A plurality of rods is each of the rods is coupled to and extends away from the casket such that each of the rods can be gripped for carrying the casket.

A casket assembly includes a base and a first side panel and a second side panel configured to be partially received within the base. The casket assembly also includes a first rail fixedly coupled to an inside of the first side panel and a second rail fixedly coupled to an inside of the second side panel. The casket assembly further includes a lid configured to be supported by the first rail and the second rail. The first side panel forms at least a first portion of a head end of the casket assembly and a first side of the casket assembly. The second side panel forms at least a first portion of the foot end of the casket assembly, and a second side of the casket assembly.

A casket structure and method use features built into a corrugated paper blank to temporarily retain the assembled casket body configuration while a fastening element is administered to secure the corrugated paper blank into the casket body configuration. A blank configured for such a casket structure includes a bottom panel, side panels, end panels, and flaps foldably connected to the side panels. When the blank is assembled into the casket body configuration, each flap overlaps a corresponding end panel. The end panels and overlapping flaps include a key-receiver arrangement in which a receiver is configured to engage a foldable key to at least temporarily hold each overlapping flap in direct engagement with a corresponding end panel to retain the foldable blank in the casket body configuration.

A casket and lid combination includes a casket body and a lid. The casket body has an interior defined by a bottom, pair of opposing side walls and a pair of opposing end walls arranged perpendicular to said side walls, the side walls and end wall extending upwardly from the bottom. The lid covers the interior when installed, and includes a top, a first side extending downwardly from the top, and second side extending downwardly from the top opposite the first side, at least one end extending downwardly from the top perpendicular to the first side and the second side, a first hinge for attaching the first side to the top, and a second hinge for attaching the second side to the top. When the end is not attached to the lid, the first side and second side may be folded inwardly toward a centerline of the top such that the top may be place directly on the casket body with the folded in sides located within the interior of the casket body.

An interior kit for a funeral container includes a foot panel and at least one flexible fabric sheet. The foot panel includes a top panel, a first side panel coupled to and extending downward from a first edge of the top panel, and a second side panel coupled to and extending downward from a second edge of the top panel. The first side panel and second side panel are configured to be supported by and within a funeral container while the top panel covers at least a portion of an interior of the funeral container. A top portion of the inner foot panel is narrower than a lower portion of the inner foot panel. The at least one flexible fabric sheet is configured to cover the top panel and a portion of a deceased disposed beyond the top panel within the funeral container.
