Everyone will ultimately leave the earth. When it's our time, we can't do anything about it. As they say, nobody lives forever. But even knowing that truth isn't going to make it less distressing to accept the passing of a loved one. When a loved one dies, their family must organise their funeral right away. Though they are mourning, they would have to make decisions on the spot and arrange for the funeral service, including the casket selection. The most expensive thing in the service is perhaps the casket. Singapore caskets can cost from a thousand dollars and up, depending on the kind and make.
Caskets, or sometimes alternately called coffins because they have the same use, contain the remains of the dead person. Caskets and coffins have slight differences, however. A casket is a rectangular box that has a similar width and height from top to bottom and is usually padded with split cover for viewing, while a coffin is pointed from the middle to bottom and with a broader width at the shoulder and narrower at the head.
Coffins are normally created from wood, while caskets can be made from wood or metal. For wood, the most frequent kinds are pine, maple, mahogany, and oak. As for metal, most caskets are made from copper and stainless steel. There are also caskets made from pricey materials like gold, although those are normally customised and are bought ahead of time.
The material used to make the casket doesn't matter to a lot of people, though. Many of them just care about how the casket looks. They can choose from the customary casket colours, such as white, black, grey, and in the natural wooden finish, or from a non-traditional shade, which usually is the favourite colour of the demised. As for the look of the casket, they can either pick a half-couch or a full-couch. This determines the outer lid of the casket. Full-couch means the full body of the demised can be shown, while half-couch can expose only the upper body portion.
In Singapore, many memorial homes offer Casket services along with other funeral needs. Caskets aren't refundable after use, naturally, but there are funeral homes that allow casket rental for those who choose cremation since caskets are just needed during the memorial service for the viewing. Fitting and delivery are also usually included in most casket services in Singapore if the relatives of the dead opted not to purchase from the funeral home.
