Funeral caskets can be simple or fancy in appearance which results in the variations in price. Prices may range from hundreds to thousands. They are made of a variety of materials. Either made of wood or metal. Cremation caskets must be made of materials that can combust (burn). Therefore, when making arrangements, there are many important things to consider. Decisions are based on costs and available options.

For burial in a grave: What is a vault, is it required?
You have the option of purchasing a vault or an outer container to protect the casket. This enclosed container is placed in the ground along with the casket. It can be made of concrete or fiberglass. Price may range from hundreds to thousands. Generally, the vault is not mandatory unless required by the medical officer of health. The vault is typically for extra protection for the wood casket from ground cave-in and external damages. You can consider metal caskets for that extra protection in place of wood caskets. Most cemeteries in Toronto do not require you to purchase a vault along with the casket.
