Can a person be buried in a plain homemade plywood box?
Question:
Answers:
Local rules may vary but yes. You can make your own coffin if you want. I worked as a grave digger at one time and I even saw cardboard coffins. A concrete vault is required in most places anyway. The profit margin on a casket from a funeral home is very high. Why put all that money in the ground.
Perhaps, but it would have to be placed in a concrete or steel vault, just like a regular casket.
probably but it might not be very sturdy.
Boy, you really hated this person! lol:)
I can't see any reason why not.
Sure , especially that person is Jewish . Jewish law requires that a person be buried in an all wood coffin - no metal of any kind is allowed to be used in it's construction .
Jewish law also prohibits embalming and the viewing of the deceased.
So yes you can build a nice plywood coffin
I don't see why not I told my wife to bury me in a cardboard casket not that we are cheap just practical the only reason to have a expensive casket is to show off to visitors
If you can convenience the funeral home to use your home made box and purchase a concrete or steel vault the chances are that you could.
Purchase the vault from a cemetery and save some good dollars. Funeral Directors charge more for the same thing.
heck, in Jersey, they leave by the side of the road
In this state you can be buried stark naked in your back yard if you own the property.
I think you could. Why not!! Save a lot of money
