The Casket Funeral
This idea comes from the often heard phrase “Put me in a cardboard box and be done with it!”
This is a very straight forward service – a cardboard coffin is concealed inside what looks like a very expensive casket. At the crematorium the same procedure for a normal coffin will be carried out and the family and mourners can if required carry the casket and proceed with the service.
At the end of the funeral the curtains will close and when all family and mourners have left, the casket will disappear from view. Behind the scenes the casket folds away and the cardboard coffin is cremated as normal.
