Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. This means that 20 sheets of 20 ga steel have a thickness of one inch. Twenty-gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. Standard steel caskets use 18 ga steel sheets which have a thickness of 1 mm. Upper end steel caskets use 16 ga steel sheets with a thickness of 1,3 mm. 16 sheets of 16 ga steel have a thickness of one inch.

A steel can perhaps, but that not steel of any reasonable thickness.
16 gauge standard steel has a thickness of 0.0598 inches. 16 gauge galvanized steel has a thickness of 0.0635 inches.

They are close but not the same. For example, 14 gauge steel is .0781 inches thick while 14 gauge steel wire is .083 inches thick.
The strength, durability, and longevity of steel caskets depends first of all on the quality and thickness of the metal sheets used. The United States Standard Gauge for the thickness of metal sheets is based on the number of sheets required to total one inch. The gauge number (ga) informs about the thickness of the steel sheets in such a way that the lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. (20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch.) Twenty gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 1/20" or 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. More expensive steel Caskets are made from 18- and 16-gauge steel. 16 ga steel sheets have a thickness of 1/16" or 1,3 mm. 16 ga steel is twice as heavy as 20 ga steel, 140% stronger and has a 140% longer life than 20ga.
depends on the steel.
