Coffin
A case or receptacle for dead human remains which is anthropoid in shape
Casket FTC
a rigid container which is designed for the encasement of human remains and which is
usually constructed of wood, metal, or like material and ornamented and lined with
fabric.
Casket ABFSE
a case or receptacle in which human remains are placed for protection, practical utility,
and a suitable memory picture.
Casket ABFSE and
any box or container of one or more parts in which a dead human body is placed prior to
interment, entombment, or cremation which may or may not be permanently interred,
entombed, or cremated with the dead human remains.
First US patent for a metallic coffin to
James Gray 1836
Species of wood used for caskets
Birch, Cherry, Mahogany, Maple, Oak, Poplar, Walnut, Pine, Select hardwood or Salix
and other species.
Softwood Species
Gymnosperms are coniferous (cone bearing) with needles or scale like foliage like pines
or cedars.
Hardwood Species
Angiosperms are broad-leaved deciduous trees that annually lose their leaves like oaks
and maples.
Mahogany 3 types
South American Swietenia
Philippine Shorea
African Khaya
Select Hardwood or Salix
a casket constructed from a variety of hardwoods including poplar, willow or
cottonwood. The component parts of a single casket will not necessarily be constructed
of the same species of wood.
Production of good quality casket requires:
Solid wood planks between 1" and 4" in thickness- 130- 150 board feet of lumber with
some up to 300 board feet.
Board-foot unit of dimensional measurement
Equal to a piece of lumber 12" square and 1" thick
Laminates
Made by uniting superimposed layers of different materials. Typically the uppermost
(visible) layer is of finer quality than the less expensive base material.
Wood Veneer
,created by gluing a thin layer of wood of superior value or excellent grain to an inferior
wood.
Composition Board
composed of particles of wood bonded together with waterproof glue heat and pressure
Types of composition board
particle board, hardboard, fiberboard, oriented-strand board (OSB), medium-density
fiberboard (MDF) and pressed board. Distinguished by size and shape of the particles
of wood used.
Plywood
thin sheets of wood glued together, so that the grains are at right angles to one another;
an odd number of sheets will always be used so that the grain on the front and back will
always run in the same direction. Like a laminate of many wood veneers.
Corrugated fiberboard or cardboard used as:
basic construction material in many cremation containers and widely used as an
upholstery backing material.
Types of Metals used in Casket Construction
Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper and Bronze
Ferrous Metal
any metal formed from iron. Iron is a metallic, silver white element that is easily formed,
and shaped, rusts easily and is magnetically attractive
Non-ferrous Metal
any metal not formed from iron such as copper and bronze.
Alloy
two or more metals fused together by melting
Steel AKA Carbon Steel
a metal alloy consisting mainly of iron and carbon; used in caskets it is low in carbon
which keeps it soft 9mild) and malleable; commercial steel contains carbon in and
amount up to 1.7% as an essential alloying constituent. Too much carbon makes the
steel brittle.
Carbon steel caskets classified by:
gauge- a measurement of thickness of metals
Gauge
roughly equated to the number of sheets of metal necessary to equal approximately on
inch of thickness. An inverse relationship exists between the gauge number of the
metal's thickness- the lower the gauge number the thicker the steel.
Abbreviation of gauge
"ga." Gauge is an abbreviation of United States Standard Gauge established by the US
Government in 1893
Common gauges of steel caskets
16 gauge (finest available) 18 gauge (mid-line) and 20 gauge steel (economically
priced)
20 gauge steel caskets
typically square corner design, economically priced, with interiors of rayon twill or crepe.
Many automobile body panels made from 20 gauge
19 gauge steel caskets
, Common a generation ago- infrequently seen today. Approx. 16% thicker than 20 gauge
steel, will last 29% longer when earth buried.
18 gauge steel caskets
Mid-line, variety of styles, typically lined with higher quality textiles, higher standard of
construction and attention to detail than 20 gauge. Approx. 33% thicker and lasts 58%
longer than 20 ga.
16 gauge steel caskets
Finest available, costly to produce, round corner designs, often lined with better quality
velvets. Approx. 67% thicker and lasts 133% longer than 20 ga.
Galvanized steel
coated with zinc- a bluish white rustless metallic element. Galvanized steel offers
increased resistance to rust. Not seen so often is caskets but in burial vaults
Stainless Steel
A metal alloy of steel, chromium, and sometimes nickel; noted for its ability to resist rust.
Not rust proof but rust resistant due to a chromium content of 10%
SST
Stainless steel offers significantly greater durability than carbon steel but does not
approach the rustproof longevity of non-ferrous metals like copper and bronze.
Ferritic stainless steel
an alloy aka 400 series or 409 stainless is a basic grade of stainless steel with good
corrosion resistance properties. Mainly composed of iron and carbon (steel) to which
has been added chromium in an amount not less than 10% of whole. Its easy to
machine and weld, used in automobile exhaust tubing, disc brake systems and
agricultural equipment.
11-0 or 12-0
Ferritic stainless steel possessing a minimum of 11% to 12% chromium with no
appreciable amount of nickel. The first number refers to the alloy's chromium content
and the second number the alloy's nickel content.
Austenitic Stainless Steel
Excellent corrosion resistance, significant increase in quality compared to 400 series
stainless. AKA 300 series or 304 stainless and possesses higher chromium content
(18%) and the added element of nickel (8%) and is sometimes called 18-8 stainless.
Versatile and widely used alloy, used in food possessing and storage equipment, quality
sinks and tableware, chemical containers, and high performance engines like jet
turbines.
Three effects of presence of nickel
1st it offers additional corrosion resistance 2nd it renders the alloy non-magnetically
attractive 3rd it allows for stronger welds. A magnet will stick to 400 series but won't be
attracted to 300 series.
Copper
a malleable, ductile metallic element having a characteristic reddish brown color. Easily
drawn-out and pressed, shaped and formed, as it is fairly soft.
Non-ferrous Metals
Copper and Bronze. They do not contain iron so are non-rusting and highly durable.
High end of metal caskets and are considered semi-precious metals.
Copper Bronze distinguished by weight expressed in:
