Abstract
A modular casket made of lightweight materials is structurally reinforced using a structural sealant, and/or longitudinally-arranged reinforcing members, and/or laterally-arranged reinforcing members, to stiffen and rigidize the casket against flexion along longitudinal and lateral axes, as well as torsional flexion. The structurally reinforced casket is sealed or more readily sealed against leakage and provides other benefits of structural stiffness and rigidity with relatively small cost and weight penalties.
