We’ve talked about coffins and caskets before, even shroud bearers. But what is a cremation capsule?
A cremation capsule is a simple, dignified container (usually made of cardboard or a similar material) used for unattended cremations. It may take the form of a basic coffin or casket, but unlike traditional options, it typically lacks handles and is not designed for lifting or transport over long distances. ‘Cremation capsule’ is simply a more respectful term for what is essentially a plain, functional box.
What about the cardboard casket people decorate? How are they different?
Without getting too “Oils ain’t oils…”, the decorated cardboard caskets you may have seen on our website are called a Daisybox. They’re made in Australia by Daisybox Pty Ltd. A Daisybox differs in that it is designed to carry up to 240 kg, thanks to its unique multi layer design and fitted natural rope handles. With its higher load bearing capacity and superior overall quality, the Daisybox is the preferred choice for funerals that include a service with the body present, such as a graveside ceremony.
