You can make your own coffin, the problem is finding a funeral home that will let you use it. They are in business to make money and coffins are the major part of that. The way the laws are most places, a body has to be handled by a funeral home and if it stays longer than a day it has to be embalmed. The exception to this is first day cremation, but they use a cardboard coffin with a wood floor in it to reduce the time it takes to cremate someone. It's not impossible to do, but it is probably going to take some effort to find someone who will let you use your own coffin.

It depends on the laws of your state and county, as well as the regulations of the cemetery in which the casket will be buried (assuming you want to use the casket for burial, and not just for display at a wake or viewing).
