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.

The disclosed urn vault comprises a polymeric box having one or more side walls and either a top or base. In some embodiments, the polymeric box is open at the bottom and lowers onto the base. In some embodiments, the polymeric box is open at the top, and a lid lowers onto the polymeric box's top opening. In some embodiments, the top surface of the base comprises guide rails or channels, located equidistant from the outside base edge on all sides of the base. These guide rails or channels are the fastening guide for the polymeric box, which lowers onto the base. In some embodiments, the lid comprises a top lid panel coupled to a smaller bottom lid panel. The lid lowers onto the polymeric box, and the top lid panel and bottom lid panel engage with the side walls of the polymeric box.

A casket assembly includes a base, a tray, and a lid. The base includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels, and first and second end panels configured as an open-top casket container formed of corrugated paper. The base includes rails coupled to and providing reinforcement to the side panels. Each of the rails has a bottom surface, a top surface, and an outer surface. The outer surface of each rail is adjoined to the corresponding side panel. The tray includes a bottom, two sides, and two ends. The tray sides are disposed between the bottom panel of the base and the bottom surface of one of the rails. The removable lid covers an interior of the base, and is disposed on the top surfaces of the rails.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise pieces necessary to assemble a container for a deceased individual. The pieces may fit together in such a way as to minimize storage footprint and transportation costs. The pieces may be comprised of different types of materials including, but not limited to and different wood grain colors, and different interior dressings.

A casket comprises a casket shell adapted to receive a deceased, a casket lid closeable on the shell, a handling bar non-pivotally attached to the shell with a first attachment mechanism, a decorative cover overlying the first attachment mechanism and operably attached to the shell with a second attachment mechanism, the second attachment mechanism having a first portion mounted to the shell and a second portion mounted to the decorative cover, the first and second portions of the second attachment mechanism resiliently cooperating to operably removably attach the decorative cover to the casket shell.

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 funerary method includes disposing a deceased adult human body in supine position on an insert constructed of paper material having side walls and end walls. The method further includes providing the insert on a tray having two end panels and a plurality of side panels affixed to a bottom panel, and inserting a first edge of a first fabric segment between a side panel of the tray and a side wall of the insert. The first fabric segment is used to cover at least a portion of a top edge of at least the first side wall of the insert and at least a portion of the deceased human body, such that the deceased human body is sufficiently visible for identification. Thereafter, the insert and the deceased human body are removed from the tray.

Disclosed is a funerary capsule for viewing and transporting dead bodies, including: a casket for containing the body, provided with a side wall and with a closing lid; a bag for containing the body, which can be placed in the casket.
