Under a U.S. federal law, 16 CFR Part 453 (known as the Funeral Rule), if a family provides a casket they purchased elsewhere, the establishment is required to accept the casket and use it in the services.

If the casket is delivered direct to the funeral home from the manufacturer or store, they are required to accept delivery of the casket.

The funeral home may not add any extra charges or fees to the overall bill if a family decides to purchase a casket elsewhere.

The Federal Trade Commission has set down strict guide lines Funeral Service Providers must go by.

Today many manufacturers offer features that they claim will protect the body. For example, some may offer a protective casket that uses a gasket to seal the casket shut after the coffin is closed for the final time.

Many manufacturers offer a warranty on the structural integrity of the coffin. However, no coffin will preserve the body, regardless of whether it is a wooden or metal coffin, a sealed casket, or if the deceased was embalmed beforehand.

In some cases, a sealed coffin may actually speed up rather than slow down the process of decomposition.

A container that allows air molecules to pass in and out, such as a simple wooden box, allows for aerobic decomposition that results in much less noxious odor and clean skeletonization.
