ABSTRACT:
A casket is disclosed that is constructed of synthetic resin material. The casket includes a removable top cover that selectively encloses a body supporting bed. The bed includes an integral pillow recess and a body supporting pad recess. The bed is affixed to a base that provides rigidity to the bed construction and facilitates handling of the casket. The base includes longitudinal skids that are designed to rest against a support surface. Peripheral fingerhold is provided at the casket periphery. The skids elevationally locate the fingerhold above any flat support surface to further facilitate handling of the casket. A ledge extends about the bed to receive a lower peripheral edge of the top cover. A rim extends above and outwardly of the ledge to form a cleft between the cover and bed. This cleft extends about the bed and can be filled with a sealing compound in order to bond the bed and cover together and to provide a hermetic seal, protecting the contents of the casket. Reinforcement is provided about the base and bed to impart rigidity to the entire unit and to evenly distribute the weight of a body supported thereby.
