Glass casket
Though rather unusual, a glass casket can be used for display purposes at the viewing. This allows people to see the person, without any possibility of touching them physically, at the wake or viewing.
A glass casket can also be used for small pets. It is not; however, something that people are buried in because it cannot stand up to being put into the earth. There are some stipulations regarding glass caskets, specifically the height and weight of a person can make it impossible to use one. Refrigerated glass caskets are used in some cultures that do not allow embalming. These versions are also not used for burial, but only for viewing.
Some funeral homes offer rentals of a glass casket to grieving families. It is such an unusual item though, that if you are interested in renting one, you may need to bring it up. If a glass casket is important to you, be sure to ask up front before procuring the services of a mortuary.
