Materials Commonly Used in Infant Caskets

Material selection plays an important role in both durability and appearance when evaluating infant caskets. Construction materials are chosen to provide long-term protection while maintaining a gentle and respectful exterior.

Understanding material differences helps families select an option that meets interment standards.

• Exterior construction materials – These materials are selected to withstand burial conditions while preserving shape and strength over time.
• Interior lining options – Linings are designed to offer a soft, finished appearance appropriate for memorial services.
• Finish treatments – Protective coatings help reduce the impact of moisture and environmental exposure.
• Compatibility with burial vaults – Material thickness and structure ensure proper placement within vault enclosures.

Careful material selection helps preserve durability, appearance, and long-term protection.
