What Are See Through Caskets?

See-through caskets are caskets that have a clear panel on the top, sides, or lid, allowing for the deceased to be viewed during a funeral service. These caskets are typically used for cremation services— the clear panel will enable families and well-wishers to say goodbye to their loved ones before the cremation occurs. See-through caskets can also be used for traditional funerals and burials, but they are less common in those settings.  They are available in a variety of materials, including— wood, metal, and plastic. Some are designed to be used for a single funeral service, while others are designed for multiple uses and can be rented by funeral homes.

Why Opt For A See Through Casket?

Looking for reasons to buy a see-through casket? 

Here are some common reasons why people opt to purchase see-through caskets.

• Additionally, some families may find a see-through casket to be a more affordable option than a traditional casket. 
• Many people who prefer cremation may have chosen it as an environmentally friendly option, as well as a cost-effective one.

It's also important to consider the transportation and installation costs, as clear caskets may require special handling to ensure their safety and integrity.
