METAL CASKETS
Metal caskets vary widely in price in today's market depending on whether they "seal", what gauge metal they are made of, and how they are decorated. Many of the metal caskets available are known as "protective", "gasketed", or "sealing"caskets. This terminology
reflects that they are manufactured with a one-piece rubber gasket that
runs around the inner lid of the casket.

Once closed, a locking mechanism draws the lids onto the
base and the gasket forms a seal. This protective seal protects the deceased
from the entrance of air and other gravesite elements.
Many higher quality metal caskets utilize a sophisticated
magnesium rust inhibitor process. Metal caskets are commonly manufactured in 20,
18 and 16 gauge metals. Interiors
are tastefully coordinated in a variety of materials form crepe to velvet
allowing for a range of pricing to meet a wide variety of budget concerns.
