That would depend on the price one is willing to pay, like anything else, you pay for quality.

Exactly, you get what you pay for.

You can have a cardboard coffin if you want one. If you specify a plywood coffin with a mahogany veneer, that's what you get.

I thought the Pope's casket was very tasteful, a beautifully made cedarwood dovetailed box.

Interestingly, the pope had 3 coffins - a cypress one, then that was put into a lead one and then finally into an elm one.

oh I see, so the one we saw was elm, or was that the cypresse?

It'll be a cardboard one for me then!

What's the point in spending all that money for something you're only going to lay in for a week - then be incinerated?
