This invention relates to caskets. It is for caskets that can be fabricated in such a manner that they are adaptable to assembly at point of use. In the manufacture of caskets, the cost of transportation between assembly point and the mortician has continued to grow out of proportion to the cost of the casket. The unassembled or knocked down parts shipped directly to the mortician would reduce freight charges and storage space requirements. By assembly at the point of use it might well lead to lower funeral costs and a wider selection of casket types and styles for the public.
