How long does it take to manufacture a casket?

It all depends on the kind of casket and on the type of manufacturing process. Hand crafted caskets take much longer than machine produced ones. Wooden caskets usually longer than metal caskets. A cardboard or unfinished press wood "casket" (container) as often used for cremations can be manufactured within hours. On the other hand, the production of a solid African mahogany "Masterpiece" - the top of the line model of the former Marsellus Casket Company of Syracuse, NY - took almost 8 month. Just the assembly of the component parts took one experienced craftsman an entire 40 hour work week and the finishing operation lasted up to 30 days while five layers of sealer and lacquer were applied. The hand rubbing of a high gloss finish of the luxury casket took more than seven hours.
