Mors 200 Arts Final - Funeral Service Merchandising Chapters 1-3 Part 3
This deck covers key concepts from chapters on funeral service merchandising, focusing on wood and metal materials used in casket production. It includes definitions and characteristics of various materials.

Wood Vaneer
Composition board Corrugated fiberboard Cardboard Plywood
Wood By-Products
Composed of particles of wood bonded together with waterproof glue, together with heat and pressure. The different types are distinguished by the size and shape of the particles of wood used. Several types: Particle board Hardboard Fiberboard Oriented-stand board (OSB) Medium density fiberboard (MDF) Pressed board
Composition Board
Thin sheets of wood glued together so that the grains are at right angles to one another; an odd number of sheets will always be used so that the grain on the front and back will always run in the same direction. Like a laminate of many wood vaneers. Relatively strong Has a tendency to shrink, swell, and warp is much less than that of a solid piece of wood.
Plywood
Refers to a product that is, in fact, all wood (with the exception of some hardware components), but utilizes wood by-products, such as particle board.
All Wood
Refers to a product that, excepting some hardware components, is made from solid wood pieces; the casket shell has no components formed from wood by-products.
Solid Wood

Accounts for about 69% of adult caskets sold in 1999, with steel constituting the bulk of metal casket sales- nearly 63%. Carbon steel Stainless steel Copper Bronze Can be crafted and finished in a wide variety of ways Some are designed to be resistant to the entrance of soil and water. | Metals |
Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal | Two Groups of Metals |
Any metal formed from iron such as steel and stainless steel. | Ferrous Metal |
A metallic, silver white element that is easily formed and shaped, rusts easily and is magnetically attractive. | Iron |
Any metal which is not formed from iron, such as copper and bronze. | Non-Ferrous Metal |
A metal alloy consisting mainly of iron and carbon; used in caskets it is low in carbon which keeps it soft (mild) and malleable; commercial contains carbon in an amount up to 1.7% as an essential alloying constituent. * Ferrous metal * Classified according to gauge * Sometimes is galvanized | Steel |
A measurement of the thickness of metals, roughly equated to the number of sheets of metal necessary to equal approximately one inch of thickness. US standard- a measurement of weight based on specific steel density, with corresponding values for average thickness. The lower the number, the thicker the steel Caskets are typically 16, 18, and 20 | Gauge (ga) |
Represent the more economically-priced metal units available. Most often formed in a square-corner design, they typically feature rayon twill or crepe interior linings. Many automobiles feature panels constructed of this. | 20 Gauge Caskets |
Some are formed from 19 gauge steel, others posses caps and bottoms of 18 gauge steel paried with 20 gauge steel body panels. ~ 16% thicker than 20 gauge steel Last 29% longer than 20 gauge steel when buried in direct contract with the earth. | 19 Gauge Steel Caskets (uncommon) |
Mid-line of steel casket value. Available in a variety of styles, they are typically lined with higher quality textiles and feature a higher standard of construction and attention to detail than their 20 gauge cousins. ~ 33% thicker than 20 gauge When buried in direct contact with the soil, will last 133% longer than 20 gauge. | 18 Gauge Steel |
Considered to be the finest available within the carbon steel range; they are costly to produce, frequently featuring round corner designs, and are usually lined with better quality velvets. 67% thicker than 20 gauge When buried in direct contact with the soil, will last 133% longer than 20 gauge steel. | 16 Gauge Steel |
Manufacturers are experimenting with this guage. | 22 Gauge Steel |
Steel that has been coated with zinc (a bluish-white, rustless metallic element) for increased resistance to rust. Infrequently seen for casket production, commonly employed in manufacturing of steel burial vaults. | Galvanized |
A metal alloy of steel, chromium, and sometimes nickel; noted for its ability to resist rust. Not rustproof, it is rust resistant made so by a minimum chromium content of 10%- chromium atoms within the material react with oxygen to form a protective film on the metal, inhibiting corrosion. Significant durability over carbon steel- does not approach the rustproof durability of non-ferrous metals. Relatively new for casket manufacture (1960's) 4% of all caskets sold in America in 1999 | Stainless Steel (SST) |
