What is the difference between a coffin and casket?

Many people are unsure of the difference between a coffin and a casket and both play an important role in the tribute to a loved one.

A coffin is a tapered design with 6 sides, narrow at the head and tapered towards the foot. It has a fully detachable lid and is secured with separate fittings. Coffins are generally smaller in size than caskets.

A casket is rectangular in shape with an attached hinged lid. They are more comfortably lined inside with padded mattresses and pillows.

Personalised picture coffins

You can choose a coffin design from the existing LifeArt range, or design it yourself by providing your own photos and working closely with the graphic designer, or opting to paint and decorate the coffin yourself.
