A shipment package includes container blanks and lid blanks. Each container blank has a first length and is foldable into a casket container. 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 novel technique for the fabrication of a casket dome lid from, for example, Smooth-One-Side (S1S) hardboard is disclosed. The invention is also directed to the fabrication of a casket lid which has a domed configuration both in the lateral and longitudinal directions of the lid. The method comprises the steps of providing a lid blank having a first end, second end, and a central region; providing a pair of diagonal voids oriented at corners of the first end of said blank and extending inward toward the central region; placing the lid blank in a vacuum fixture; and flexing the lid blank into a domed configuration via the vacuum fixture, such that the blank is domed in both a longitudinal and a transverse direction.

A housing for keeping, transporting and entombing a corpse comprising a bottom with an outer peripheral edge and a lid (2) with an outer peripheral edge, which can be superimposed perfectly between each other, characterized in that between the edge of the bottom and the edge of the lid, along the whole perimeter it is interposed a wire frame section bar, flat, with opened junction, of highly resistant metal, wherein at the ends of the opened junction electric cables are connected, said wire frame section bar being configured so that it allows an extended contact between the edge of the bottom and the edge of the lid in the internal areas of said wire frame section bar, thus providing by current flowing, the welding and the sealing of the peripheral edges of the lid and the bottom.

A biodegradable burial pod, comprising a shell and a lid defining a cavity therein, the shell and the lid being composed of a biodegradable resin, wherein an inner wall of one of the shell and the lid includes living mushroom spores disposed thereon, wherein one or more channels are defined in the inner wall thereof to receive fluids, the one or more channels having one or more outlets opening through the inner wall, the one or more channels being angled to facilitate flow of fluids to the one or more outlets, and wherein the lid includes a substance disposed thereon which is consumed by the mushroom spores.

A cremation urn comprising an internal structure with an opening, an external opening with an opening that is correspondingly aligned with the opening on the internal structure, and sealing means in the form of a threaded lid or press fit lid. A threaded flange is attached to the opening on the internal structure and is molded into the urn during manufacturing. The materials used for the urn produce an urn with the appearance of marble. Once the urn is made, by use of a manufacturing method, the threaded lid is screwed into the threaded flange, thereby creating a one-piece, air-tight and water-tight cremation urn.

A large lightweight molded coffin comprises a large pulp molded outer shell lined with a reinforcing spacer material such as single faced Re-board, a honeycomb structure or a molded spacer material conforming to and adhering to said shell and an inner shell made of molded pulp or a paper based material. A method for manufacturing such a lightweight coffin involves pressing slurried pulp between a first male mold half covered with elastomeric material and a second female mold half, to form the molded pulp shell, and gluing the reinforcing spacer material to the interior of said outer molded pulp shell and the inner shell.
