When using a rental casket for a funeral service followed by cremation, when is the inner unit removed from the shell?

• A. Before the funeral
• B. During viewing
• C. During cremation
• D. After the funeral & before cremation

Answer: (D)

In a rental casket setup, the outer shell is used for the funeral service and viewing, while the inner unit is the cremation container that holds the body. After the service ends, the inner unit is removed from the shell so the cremation can proceed with the appropriate container. This timing—after the funeral and before cremation—lets families have the viewing with the shell, allows the shell to be returned to the rental provider, and ensures cremation occurs with the proper cremation container.
