    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
      @FCPuchert Před 6 lety +4

      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.

      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.

    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.

      @RADIUMGLASS Před 2 lety +1

      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.

      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.

      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.
