Caskets can be compared to jewel chests in that they are used to keep something precious in a safe place. Perhaps this will lend a different perspective when you think of what a casket is used for. At Picha Funeral Home we try to have ample choices to accommodate certain economic situations. 


Caskets are basically made of metal or wood.

Metal caskets are set apart in many different ways. They can be painted in countless different colors with shading and other enhancements and then be lined with numerous variations of velvet and crepe. There are some other lesser used interior lining materials.
    1.    Kinds of metal
                a.    Bronze
                b.    Copper
                c.    Stainless Steel
                d.    Steel
                        16 Gauge Steel
                        18 Gauge Steel
                        20 Gauge Steel

Wooden caskets have their inherent natural characteristics of their particular wood specie. Then these too are lined in the interior.
