ABSTRACT:
A reusable casket assembly comprising a two part burial system comprising an ornate, reusable outer shell that is mated to an inner capsule. The decorative shell esthetically and operationally covers the inner capsule in which the body is interred. The inner capsule functions without the outer shell. A preexisting ornate casket is converted into an ornate outer shell by simply removing the interior padding and bottom of the preexisting casket. Pins installed in the outer shell selectively lock the inner capsule therein. The inner capsule is preferably molded of durable plastic. Esthetic ornamentation is added to the exterior of the capsule to provide a suitable appearance. The inner capsule has indents molded into its side walls that selectively receive suitable pins installed in the outer shell. While the outer shell is combined with the capsule, the casket assembly functions and appears as a unitary casket. Alternatively, the inner capsule may be used alone. A unique handle system attaches to the inner capsule to facilitate its movement without the outer shell. The capsule is hermetically sealed prior to burial and the interior of the capsule may be pressurized with an inert gas to preserve the deceased.
