A few families each year have inquired about renting a casket. To facilitate this request we offer a casket designed to allow for this service. The casket is  specially custom crafted that facilitates an inner simple container to house the remains. The casket itself acts as a "shell" around this container making it suitable for public visitation and viewing.

After the funeral service, the funeral home's professional staff removes the inner container from the outer casket shell. The inner container holding the remains is then transported to the place of final disposition, usually a crematorium.

The outer casket can and will be reused for a future services.The interior lining and pillow is replaced after each and every use. Eventually the casket reaches a point of wear and it is destroyed. Because its usage is limited, the rental casket is replaced after a relatively small number of uses. 

At the Scotland Funeral Home, we offer two kinds of rental offerings.

(1) Is the " Standard Size" offering as described above, the casket is a Solid Maple Casket, with a polished finish as well as a velvet interior. This casket includes the inner container.

(2) Is the "Plus Size" offering, the difference from the above description to the use of this particular rental casket: Is that the remains are removed by the funeral home's professional staff from this casket following the service and placed in a plus size disposition container.The container and remains are then transported to the place of final dispostion, usually a crematorium. The other difference with this option is the casket, it is a 20 guage steel casket (slightly larger in size compared to casket option # 1) with crepe interior

             Pricing for either casket option and disposition container is
