Statistics for Cremation

Woolen Casket

• Wool will not ignite until it reaches a temperature of 500°C - 600°C (wood will ignite with an open flame between 530°C - 900°C).
• Due to the natural properties of all the materials used in the production of the Hainsworth USA Casket, emission levels are low.
• Wooden slats are securely attached to the base of the casket. The wooden slats are one inch deep and give rigidity and lift to the base of the caskets. The wide width of the slats ensures that the base is well balanced so that the casket will move smoothly across any surface.
• Reinforced hardboard panels fully encircle both ends of the casket to give a strong and rigid end to the head and foot. This ensures the woolen casket is suitable for all types of hand and automatic charging.
• The casket has been independently tested by Lloyds British Testing House to a weight bearing 500 pounds.
