Casket shells
When
choosing casket shells, try to choose one that best signifies the person
who is being buried. Because no two people are alike, there are many
different varieties of shells from which people can choose.
This was evidenced not long ago when a high school tennis star made
a flippant comment to her family that she would like to be buried in
a pink casket. The family didn’t think much about the comment
until a week later when she and her brother tragically died in a traffic
accident.
Wanting to fulfill their daughter’s wish, the parents sought
out a casket shell that was pink. Although this shell was not what one
would typically see at a funeral, it certainly suited the occasion and
allowed the family to grant the desire of their daughter.
In addition to being made in a variety of colors, these shells are
also made in a variety of sizes. Just doing a quick check around you
of the various sizes of people tells you that some caskets need to be
shorter than normal, while others need to be longer than normal.
Likewise, there are some shells made a little wider than the typical
casket. The good thing to know is that because there are so many different
types of people and because these people have lived so many different
types of lives, there is also a wide variety of caskets available for
their final resting place.
Don’t fear you will not be able to find the right kind of casket
shell for your beloved. In all likelihood, the exact fit already exists.
