Casket shell structures

A casket shell comprising

• an inner box,
• an outer box, and
• a core sandwiched therebetween, the core having a shape corresponding to the shape of the inner box and the shape of the outer box, the core including an inner surface and an outer surface spaced apart from the inner surface, the inner box being adhered to the inner surface of the core and the outer box being adhered to the outer surface so that pressure is transferred from the inner box to the outer box when a force is applied to the inner box.

A casket shell comprising

• an inner box having a bottom panel, first and second end panels attached to the bottom panel and extending upwardly therefrom, and first and second longitudinally-extending side panels attached to the bottom panel and extending upwardly therefrom,
• a core having an outer surface and an inner surface spaced apart from the outer surface and attached to the inner box, and
• an outer box attached to the outer surface of the core, the outer box including first and second end panels engaging the core and engaging the first and second end panels of the inner box, respectively, and head and foot end panels engaging the core and engaging the head and foot end panels of the inner box, respectively.

A casket shell comprising

• a plurality of generally planar panels, each panel including a core having a top surface and a bottom surface spaced apart from the top surface, a first stabilizing surface element attached to the bottom surface, and a second stabilizing surface element attached to the top surface, and
• a plurality of connectors, each connector coupling two panels of the plurality of panels to one another, the plurality panels cooperating with the plurality of connectors to define the casket shell.
