What is the purpose of a rental casket?

A rental casket is designed specifically for the temporary housing and display of human remains during a funeral service. The primary purpose is to provide an appropriate presentation for viewings while allowing for the use of a rental insert that holds the deceased. This insert is typically a less expensive option than a permanent casket and is designed to be used when the casket will not be needed for long-term use after the service.

In this context, the rental casket serves to conceal the rental casket insert which contains the human remains, allowing for a respectful and dignified presentation during memorial services. This is a cost-effective solution for families who may opt for a more economical option for the viewing and service, especially when the body will not be needing a permanent casket afterward.
