Wood caskets can be embellished with various materials

W ood caskets may seem to be rather drab and unadorned for those who prefer to be themselves buried in ‘style’ or for those who wish to see their loved ones in caskets that defy the conventional, but they can certainly be transformed from dry to scintillating with character by means of other materials. While it’s strange to imagine that burial could flare up people’s very personalized tastes, despite them not being alive to experience it, it quite usual for the deceased to explicitly state the way they prefer to be buried, right down to the detail of their casket. Ordinary wood caskets can be seen transformed into rectangular boxes with all manner of shiny and sparkly things on them. For the individual who had a preference for gold for instance, their wood casket could be trimmed and traced with gold both inside and outside, the details of which are left to the capable and experienced creative hands of the casket makers. With the various options available to those with the money, the possibilities are truly endless. Wood caskets that are adorned with other materials are a testament that one can live, die ad be buried in the way that makes them happy. And while they may not be alive to see the personalized masterpiece in which they bodies will forever reside, the family at least has the satisfaction of having auctioned the burial of their loved one’s preference.
