Abstract
A disposable casket adapted to rest on a platform is disclosed. The casket comprises bedding which rests in a casket bottom element. An outer casket shell is disposed over and around the casket bottom element. This outer casket shell includes a top planar element which has a viewing means to allow visitors to see the face of the deceased. The inventive casket may be made of waxed-treated cardboard to keep costs to a minimum. The effects of decomposition may be neutralized to some extent by the provision of compartments containing a deodorizer, a desiccant, and/or a perfumery or fragrance-bearing material.
