Many people have been buried without a casket. It happened frequently during wartime. In the Civil War after a battle, burial teams would go to the battle field, dig graves, and place the bodies of dead solders in graves where they lay. Many of those graves were no more than 2 feet deep.

In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, the casket was filled with clothing and blankets to make it appear as if it contained a dead body, so that the German soldiers would not inspect it closely.
