how are coffins made
11 Answers
Not sure where to post this.. Are all coffins lined with lead or is it just something done for the rich and famous. If they are purely wood, how long would it take for the wood to totally rot away

I done a lot of grave digging years ago and frequently had to remove bodies from graves of varying levels of decay, in dry soils the body and coffin would last for a few years with not a lot of decay but in wet ground they would both decay very quickly, especially with modern chipboard coffins.
Not a lot of fun lifting a half decomposed body from a grave when its falling to bits I can tell you!!
Puts you off your sandwiches anyway!!

unless there egg sandwiches Ratter? so im wondering, becasue i was thinking this before, are you allowed to make your own coffin? say of steel? i'm young and had the idea to start making my own coffin, a very gothinc looking one, with like a steel frame in the main shape then panel it with engraved wood. But someone said about contaminating the ground so would steel be allowed?
