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). In most cases, making your own casket is perfectly legal. To find out if any local restrictions apply, try calling a funeral home in your area.

Where can I find funeral caskets in South Carolina.?

You can purchase caskets at most funeral homes and without knowing where you are it is difficult to list the funeral homes you can check with. You can also purchase caskets through casket companies with the assistance of a funeral director or on your own. A couple of companies you can check are the Natural Burial Company at http://www.naturalburialcompany.com/ and Dignified Caskets at http://www.dignifiedcaskets.com/


How do they prepare a damaged skull for a closed casket funeral?

You answered your own question, if the casket is closed- there is no viewing, so no need to cosmeticize the remains, apart from health considerations- he or she would be embalmed, and one hopes, dressed. as the legal phrase goes- this case is closed. a photograph of the deceased- say good portrait head-shot ( no pun intended) should be prominently displayed to show what the deceased looked like in life!

Can I make my own funeral casket?

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.
