Oak wood has a high density that gives it great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very attractive grain markings, particularly when quarter sawn. Wide, quarter-sawn boards of oak have been prized since the Middle Ages.

Today oak wood is still commonly used for furniture making and flooring, timber frame buildings, and for veneer production.

Of the North American oaks, the Northern red oak, Quercus rubra, is the most prized of the red oak group for lumber, all of which is marketed as red oak regardless of the species of origin.

The oak is a common symbol of strength and endurance and has been chosen as the national tree of many countries.

In 2004 the Arbor Day Foundation, held a vote for the official National Tree of the United States of America. In November of 2004, Congress passed legislation so designating the oak as America's National Tree.

No casket, regardless of its qualities or cost, will preserve a body forever.

Metal caskets frequently are described as “gasketed,” “protective” or “sealer” caskets. These terms mean that the casket has a rubber gasket or some other feature that is designed to delay the penetration of water into the casket and prevent rust.

The Funeral Rule forbids claims that these features help preserve the remains indefinitely because they don’t. They just add to the cost of the casket.
