Method of assembling a casket from a foldable blank

A method for constructing a casket from a foldable blank having a bottom panel, two end panels, two side panels and a flap at each opposite end of each side panel, in a blank, comprising the steps of:

• folding the two end panels and two side panels upward relative to the bottom panel to define a box configuration;
• folding a flap at each end of each side panel to overlap a corresponding end panel;
• and
• for each overlapping flap, advancing a key, foldably connected to one of an end panel and an overlapping flap, into a through-hole defined in the other of the end panel and the overlapping flap to at least temporarily hold the overlapping flap in direct engagement with the end panel to retain the foldable blank in the box configuration.

• folding the two end panels and two side panels upward relative to the bottom panel to define a box configuration, each of the two end panels including two spaced-apart through-holes;
• folding the flap at each end of each side panel to overlap a corresponding end panel, in which the flap includes a key foldably connected thereto, and wherein the flap is folded so that the key is aligned with one of the through-holes in the corresponding end panel;
• and
• for each flap, advancing the key into the aligned through-hole to at least temporarily hold the overlapping flap in direct engagement with the end panel to retain the foldable blank in the box configuration.
