Be Aware of These Casket Characteristics
Metal casket rating system is based on the gauge of the steel used in production. The lower the number, the more expensive a metal casket will be. As an example a 16-gauge casket is heavier and more expensive than a thinner 20 gauge metal casket. The type of metal used in construction also has a bearing on cost. A Bronze or Copper casket is more expensive than a stainless steel casket. Design attributes also affect price as well. Round or square corners are less than corner designs with ornate and intricate detail.

The type of wood affects cost and value as does design. Some of the hardwoods that are limited in supply will naturally be more expensive than hardwoods used on a daily basis. Mahogany is higher priced than pine, which is prevalent all over the United States.
