Traditional All Wood Caskets

Traditional All Wood Caskets

For those who follow the traditional Jewish beliefs, a casket must be made entirely of wood. Jewish law forbids the use of metal caskets. Even the use of metallic components such as nails, screws, handles, etc in the construction of wood caskets is not acceptable. The entire casket must be free from metal. Additionally, Orthodox caskets should be plain and free from excessive ornamentation. Each casket has a Star of David on the foot panel of the casket. Their construction must have rabbinical certification. Interestingly, the use of plastic for hinges, etc is acceptable.
