When cremating do they burn casket too?
Wooden caskets are usually burned. Metal caskets more seldomly. Sometimes a rental casket (made of either metal or wood) is used for the service; after the service the cardboard cremation container is taken out of the rental casket and burned. There have been a few fraud cases in which the funeral director took out the body out of an expensive wooden casket and tried to sell it again as new. The body had been cremated either without a casket or in a cardboard container or a cheap wooden cremation casket.

Is there a difference between a hermetically sealing casket liner and a burial or grave vault?
Burial vaults protect the casket, while casket liners protect the body in the casket. Casket liners are either used for long distance shipments (especially overseas) or for protective purposes in wooden luxury caskets. The former ones are usually made of zinc (sometimes possessing a small glass lid), the latter ones are usually made of copper or bronze and have oftentimes a full length oval plate glass lid.
Is the Toccoa casket company still in business?
No, Toccoa casket company closed down decades ago, probably around the year 2000. The company which had its plant at W. Currahee St. in Toccoa had been one of the big casket manufacturers in the US and the largest in the state of Georgia. Until the Vietnam War, it had been also the largest supplier of caskets to the U. S. Military. Later it was also one of the large suppliers of all wooden jewish orthodox style caskets. At the end of the 20th century Toccoa was also one of the few manufacturers of hermetically sealing copper and bronze inner casket liners for wooden caskets in the US. Legend has it that Toccoa Casket provided the - glass top liner equipped - cherry casket in which Martin Luther King was buried, after the bronze casket in which he had been taken from Memphis to Atlanta had been exchanged for a more modest looking hardwood model.

How is a hermetically sealing of caskets being effected and what is the difference between a gasket sealer and a glass sealer casket?
Metal caskets - or metallic liners inside of wooden casket - can obtain a protective property through an air and watertight sealing mechanism. By that way the remains in the casket are temporarily protected from the elements, especially from ground water and the intrusion of insects. Nowadays, most protective caskets are sealed by a gasket which is placed between the base (or body) of the casket and its lid. The gasket usually consists of an approximately inch wide one piece strip of flexible but resilient rubber-like material which runs along the upper margin of the frame of the casket's base. In a casket with a split lid (half couch casket) an additional gasket between the two halves of the lid is needed for effecting a hermetical seal.

Is the J J Meany casket company of Iowa still in business?
Definitely yes! Due to the fact that the JJ Meany Company is probably the only casket manufacturer in the US which does not yet have its own website, the company has falsely been listed as inactive in several business directories. But as a matter of fact, the J. J. Meany Casket Company is still active (in 2014) and has even expanded its activities from the production of hand crafted metal caskets to wooden urns. As Meany Casket is probably the only casket manufacturer not advertising its products, perhaps some additional information on the history and activities of this unique company might be helpful.
What is a bronze or copper inner casket liner with full oval glass lid?
A casket liner is a coffin inside a burial casket. While zinc or steel liners are used for international shipments of remains, copper or bronze liners are primarily used in wooden luxury caskets to give them a protective quality against the elements, especially against ground water. Unfortunately, the terminology varies: sometimes the expression "inner liner" is reserved to a liner not possessing a sealing gasket while a hermetically sealing (air and water tight) liner sometimes is called "inner sealer". It seems that such liners are no longer manufactured in the US. The liners were usually made of standard 32oz copper or bronze sheets. The (empty) weight of 32oz bronze liners with glass lid was between 200 and 250 lbs. Their wholesale price was approximately half the price of a standard bronze or copper casket. The lid was either of metal or of plate glass. If the glass lid had almost the length of the casket, it was called a full lid. Usually the glass lid was not flat but oval, possessing a slight dome shape. In rare cases, the glass lid was covered by an additional protective metal lid which usually was divided into two halves (a head end panel and a foot end panel). Many wooden caskets could be retrofitted with inner casket liners. Thus the same casket could be purchased with or without an inner liner. The funeral director just had to remove the textile lining from the wooden casket, place the metallic liner into the casket and reattach the textile lining to the inside of the casket liner. Wooden caskets designed for being equipped with an inner liner possessing a glass lid usually have a "hinged cap" lid, which means that not the complete - full or half - top opens up for viewing, but only the "cap" or "crown", while the "ogee" or frame of the lid remains attached to the base of the casket. The rather small opening of the wooden top in hinged cap caskets has the effect that just the glass lid is visible and not the metal liner. Casket liners must not be confused with grave liners (non protective burial vaults) or with metal or plastic liners inside of a concrete burial vault.
