ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an improved reusable casket assembly including an outer reusable casket and an inner liner or coffin adapted to permit conventional and traditionally burial of a deceased. The outer coffin is aesthetically appealing and constructed for secure and selectively fixed receipt of the inner liner. The inner liner is also aesthetically appealing. The inner liner may be used in either an open or closed condition for viewing. The inner liner may further be sealed while positioned within the outer casket, and either released into a burial vault or removed and placed into a mausoleum or crematorium. The invention includes selectively securable latches in combination with an alignment plate to facilitate secure placement of the casket assembly over a burial vault. The invention provides for lowering of the inner liner in a conventional manner into a burial vault, while preserving the outer casket for repeated, future use. The present invention further includes a sleeve fitted between the inner liner and the outer casket to provide a pleasing, unitary appearance.
