By Elaine Reyes

The death of a family member or a friend can result in untold distress and pain and leave an irreparable gap which cannot be filled by any other person in the world. However, making appropriate preparations for the funeral still requires to be attended to and this will require the selection of an appropriate casket.

Looking for and getting the ideal casket at a time when you are not equipped mentally or emotionally to deal with the intricacies can be a challenging task. When the departed's religious or cultural beliefs specify certain requirements for the casket or the departed himself has made his tastes known in this regard, then the selection of a casket becomes much simpler.

Many casket options come in a range of sizes, designs, shapes, and accordingly differing rate tags. There are burial caskets and funeral caskets to choose from in accordance with the funeral rites which will be followed. Burial caskets are usually designed only for the objective of funeral rituals while funeral caskets allow one last view of the departed to the loved ones.

Caskets are available in a range of materials such as metal, fibre, wood and marble. Generally wooden ones are preferred by tradition bound families, and they can choose from caskets made of maple, oak, mahogany etc. Wooden caskets are of great quality and look very classy and nice when polished, but these are also priced more than caskets made of other materials. Metal caskets are a good choice with their bronze, stainless steel, or copper finish, and you will have alternatives of various colours, designs, and patterns.

Caskets made of environment friendly material are also gaining popularity as people are becoming aware of their responsibility towards the environment to protect our planet Earth. With these, the material used bio degrades and does not result in any damage to the environment. These caskets are a great choice if the deceased person was concerned about environment conservation. - 42629
