What is Cremation & Direct Cremation?
Cremation caskets
A container is made from cardboard or wood. Crematories in Toronto will require that an enclosed container be used to hold the body. As long as the enclosed container is strong enough for the health and safety of the operator. Metal caskets are not recommended for cremation as a combustible material is favored when cremation takes place. Most crematories will accept small amount of metal parts on the container. These materials will be removed before the cremation process. Once the body is properly placed in the container and covered, the crematory will cremate the body along with the container. A direct cremation occurs. This is why, the container must be selected before cremation takes place.
The ideal container for cremation is made of wood. This gives you the choices of wood species that can allow the casket to vary in appearance. Cremation caskets available in cherry red, reddish brown to dark brown wood. The most common wood species is pine and poplar as these are inexpensive wood species. Cherry, oak, walnut and mahogany wood are considered to be more expensive. Consider veneer wood caskets if you love a classic cherry or mahogany hardwood casket. Veneer wood caskets are made to resemble hardwood but at an inexpensive price. If on a tight budget and have a ceremony, opt for an affordable poplar casket that is still a beautiful hardwood and available in many different finishes.
