As you can see in the pictures, this is a plain box. It's a container intended for burial or cremation. State Law does require a container for cremation. The plainess of the Maine Green Casket allows you to spend your money and time on more important end of life planning issues.
This plain pine box may not satisfy your siblings or wife or husband. To repeat; it's intended to be an affordable box or container to bury or cremate a body. Period. The Maine Green Casket is an alternative to the overpriced, ornate caskets that are shown to you as part of a "package" of services.
Those looking for a package offering need only look to consult a registered funeral service provider. Maine listed orginizations here: Maine Funeral Directors Association

Our plain wooden box will give the consumer an alternative to high-margin caskets offered to you by many retail providers. Choice is good. Maine law allows you to provide your own casket. The Maine Green Casket was developed with input from funeral home owners as well as fine Maine cabinet makers, so it's designed to function well without being an artistic object for posterity's sake.
