Robust funerary tray

A method of producing plural funerary containers, comprising:

• cutting a first plurality of rigid sheets and a second plurality of rigid sheets from a single integral plank;
• arranging the first plurality of rigid sheets adjacently to form a first bottom wall, wherein in each of the first plurality of rigid sheets has a surface area that is less than a surface area of the first bottom wall;
• affixing the first plurality of rigid sheets to a first set of side walls and a first set of end walls to form a container having a length and width configured to receive an adult human body;
• and
• affixing the second plurality of rigid sheets to a second set of side walls and a first set of end walls to form a container having a length and width configured to receive an adult human body.

A funerary container, comprising:

• a bottom wall formed of a rigid material, the bottom wall having first and second long edges, and first and second short edges;
• a first end frame formed of corrugated fiberboard, the first end frame coupled to the bottom wall and extending upward from at least the first short edge to form a first end wall;
• a second end frame formed of corrugated fiberboard, the second end frame coupled to the bottom wall and extending upward from at least the second short edge to form a second end wall, the second end frame separate from the first end frame;
• a first side section extending along the first long edge and between the first end frame and the second end frame to form at least a portion of a first side wall;
• and
• a second side section extending along the second long edge and between the first end frame and the second end frame to form at least a portion of a second side wall;
• wherein the bottom wall, first and second side walls, and first and second end walls form a tray having a length and width configured to receive an adult human body.
