Caskets

1. The casket is constructed in a manner that is fit for purpose.
   • Strong enough to safely support the weight of the deceased
   • Large enough to fit the deceased
   • Small enough to fit in a plot or cremator
2. The materials used do not pose a risk to the environment following burial or cremation. For Example: No plastic or fiberglass for cremation.
3. The handles are strong enough to support the total weight when carrying the casket.
4. The design, shape and build quality must not pose a health and safety risk. For Example: No splinters or sharp edges/fixtures.
5. The casket must be lined in accordance with existing legislation.
6. It must have a completely flat bottom. This is to enable use of rollers in our vehicles and for loading into the cremator.

Cost: We accept no liability for the payment of the casket. The transaction is between the client family and the casket seller.

Storage: We do not store caskets that families have sourced independently.

Lining and handles: We are able to fit handles and line caskets supplied by family members – charges apply.

Right of refusal: We reserve the right to refuse acceptance of a casket that breaches any of the above conditions.
