Under what condition can a rental casket liner come into contact with human remains?

A rental casket liner may come into contact with human remains when it is disposed of with the rental casket insert. This is due to the fact that the rental casket is typically reused for multiple services, and the liner is considered a component of that casket during its use. By disposing of the liner along with the insert, it ensures that the liner, which has been in direct contact with the remains, is not reused and is instead properly disposed of in a way that respects the dignity of the deceased.

Using a liner that has had previous contact with remains for a new service could compromise both health and ethical standards. The necessity of disposing of the liner with the casket insert thus addresses both sanitary concerns and upholds the standards of care expected within the embalming and funeral services.
