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.
