Funny thing: Right at the beginning of this video I got a "sleep better" mattress commercial from purple :)

That better be comfortable, i dont want to bother waking up.

Caskets are rectangular, think modern day. Coffins are hexagonal, think count dracula.

FR...I know right

[@hawaiibound.]

Many people are unaware that they have the option to purchase funeral products such as caskets and urns online. Many of the big-box retailers such as WalMart, CostCo, and Sam’s Club offer caskets and there are a number of large, reputable online retailers. Costs can be considerably lower than buying through a funeral home and the shopping can be done from the comfort of your own home.

whats the point of preserving the body when the person is already dead? isnt it kind of gross how the corps is going to rotte inside the coffin? and since the body isnt sterillised, the various baterias in the intestine area is going to start eating its way out of the body...

[@FCPuchert]

I'm speculating that something like the waterproofing isn't so much for preservation of the body as it is for keeping any fluids that may leak from the body (during a potentially long memorial service) inside the casket.

[@iamsofia3782]

True..I'd rather just decompose with grace.

[@iamsofia3782]

@ embalming doesn't prevent the body from rotting, eventually it's going to happen. What's the point of trying to prevent the body from naturally decomposing into the earth..It makes no sense to me.

[@richardskola3570]

If the body was correctly embaled, with good cavity technique, that will not be a problem.

[@sarab2324]

Yeah the thing is, it’s really for the family’s benefit. They don’t like the idea of their loved ones eternal bed coming into contact with anything. Of course even if they are “water tight” they won’t stay that way forever. I won’t get into the gruesome facts, but let’s just say the body will decompose and you can’t do anything about it.

[@christinehuot5421]

[@michaelwong7073]

2:52, water test, they didn't weld the corners. It's water tight at the bottom. But, how about the rest of it? It's already been powder coated, they're not going to go back to finish it. So much for it being sealed.

Lol well the thing is, they are water proof but it hardly matters since when the body decomposes things will… do their thing.

Good to see they are water-tight bottoms ..

[@toddberner9198]

@ Art Howard.....water tight UNTIL the metal deteriorates.

[@sarab2324]

Only water tight for a while but the body will decompose and eventually….

[@MrAwesomedude808]

[@troywhite6039]

The caustic decomposing body will eat and rust the metal eventually then leaks will form and then it's a short time to becoming rust and dust.

[@nikolaidragovic5068]

My big brother had a real gold casket made for him he was 21 when he die

[@EvilSadist]

Gold plated you mean?

[@mistylover7398]

How

[@craigenputtock]

As pointed out in "The Funeral Critic," metal caskets are generally not the way to go.

[@explodingtomahawks7589]

How come?

[@blakecollie8770]

They don't have a emergency escape hatch incase they not dead and still alive 🤣

[@laloarr]

Wait they aren't made of wood?

[@Sweetbutapsycho4]

So how on earth do you get cremated in one of these? Surly the metal ain’t gonna burn too?

[@RADIUMGLASS]

We used to put these in the chambers all of the time. Give it about 3 hours and depending on the gauge of metal, sometimes they came close to the melting point. Inside would be bone which you would collect with a brush and dust pan and the casket would get thrown in the dumpster.

[@RADIUMGLASS]

I remember another instance in which the wife of one of the appraisers The Antique Roadshow was sent to our crematorium. She was delivered in a casket that cost almost $7,000. It went in and she was cremated while in it. The metal didn't melt, it was a thicker gauge steel and afterwards she was swept out and it went into the dumpster.

[@Sweetbutapsycho4]

@@RADIUMGLASS thank you for your reply I understand now but I’ve never seen one of these where I live ? The UK I think these ones are beautiful compared to the horrible wooden ones we have here

[@sarab2324]

I’m not a professional or anything but I know quite a bit about the funeral industry and such. A lot of people will use these for cremation but they’re so much more expensive and they’ll just be burned anyway, so there’s caskets or boxes you can get that are far cheaper. You can literally be cremated in a cardboard box which makes a lot more sense to me.

[@briannotafan3368]

you cant get cremated in a casket your on display in one then put in a cardboard box to be burnt up the casket is a rental
