RENTAL CASKETS
Families are increasingly requesting to rent a casket. To facilitate this request Community Alternative offers two caskets designed to allow for this service. Each rental casket is a specially crafted unit that accommodates an inner simple container to hold the remains. The casket itself acts as a "shell" around this container making it suitable for public visitation and viewing.

After the funeral service, the funeral director removes the inner container from the outer casket shell. The inner container holding the remains is then transported to the place of final disposition, usually a crematorium.
A new upholstered insert is placed in the outer shell and it is then reused. Eventually the casket shell becomes worn to the point where it is replaced with a new shell and the old one destroyed. The reusable nature of these caskets are appreciated by families with environmental and cost concerns.
