Frequently Asked Questions — Casket FAQ's

There is no truly sealed casket.  A casket with a gasket is considered sealed because it has a shaped piece of rubber around lid that helps protect the inside from the elements. These caskets also provide a screw down lid locking lid in place. Rubber gaskets will deteriorate over time providing no long term protection. A casket that is a non seal has no gasket and has only a latch to hold lid in place. If you want long term protection I would recommend a sealed Casket and sealed Vault.
