What's the difference between a casket and a coffin?

There is a small difference between the two:\n\nCoffin - a tapered hexagonal or octagonal box used for a burial.\nCasket - a rectangular burial box with a split lid used for viewing the deceased.\n\nMost people see a "casket" when attending a funeral.  Caskets are also used in funerals depicted on television.\n\n.

Yes, there is a difference. One gives you natural cancer and the other one gives you just plain old cancer.

He was.  Under Jewish traditional burial practices a body was wrapped and placed in a cave tomb for a year until it decayed completely.  Then the bones were taken up and placed in a small stone casket, which was left with other caskets in a family part of the cave/tomb.  The description in the Gospels follows the first part of this tradition.

No, there is no reason for underwear on the deceased.\nAll that is supplied is their outer garments.\nIf the body is too big for the casket, there will also be an absence of shoes.\nYet, again it also can depend upon the requests of the next of kin to the deceased or who is paying for the services as well.

Usually it's the carpenter who makes the coffins, but i guess that's not what you want to know...

Many cemeteries are using Mausoleums now-------saves space as you can build on top of each other.  It is no more well preserved than a ground burial in a coffin and vault.

There's no difference, one is just a synonym for the other. :)\n\nI could've been smart and said, a spirit is something you find in the liquor aisle of your local grocery store and a ghost is a white sheet that floats around with two holes in it :D, but I am not like that I am nice to people :D

None. We find candles are more soothing and better for the enviroment, and of besides, we bought a cute coffin purse on ebay and our funds are totally drained. Couldn't buy a lightbulb if we wanted to. Maybe we can return the 7 inch heel boots...

They don't anymore, they lock the casket now indstead. But both are to ward off grave robbers and stuff. When my dad and grandmom both died, the caretaker waited until we (well my mom and sis, I needed to leave the room) were the only ones left, and then locked it with a special key that can't unlock the casket once it's locked. That way we knew that no one was going to open the casket afterwards and steal jewelry or anything. I'm more confused about why they burry the body in a 2 inch thick cement vault and then cement the lid shut after they put the casket in it. I would think the fancy locks and thick plastic casket would be enough to ward off grave robbers......

An undertaker is the person that arranges the funeral services and the burial.  A Mortician is the person that prepares the bodyy for burial and an Embolmer is the person that exchanges the bodily fluids with the formaldehyde solution to help preserve the body.
