What is the difference between a coffin and a casket?
There are two differences between a Coffin and a Casket, the shape and the top.
SHAPE: A Coffin is tapered at the head and foot, a Casket is rectangular in shape;
TOP: A Coffin has a removable top, a Casket has a hinged top.
Our coffins and caskets are grouped in the following five categories based
on their construction.
