[Woodworking] Cremation Box
Got an email from a friend last night. Their uncle passed away this weekend and they wanted to know if I could make a cremation box, and if so, how much.
Yes, consider it a gift. Have a general idea of what it will look like. I had made a smaller box for their doggie a few years ago, and they said he liked it. Likely mahogany and maple. Will have to get some lumber. Not enough in hand. |

Rule of thumb is one cubic inch per pound.
Looked on google last night, and prices range from $60 to $800. I have no idea how to price such work. Besides, they are friends in need. |

Cremation box? The box that the deceased would be cremated in? Or the box to hold the ashes?

I plan on donating my body to science, so after med students give me a morbid nickname and cut me up into pieces, their tuition money will pay for my cremation. Winning!

I am supposed to be cremated, I suppose they just toss the ashes, but in this case wife has a side/side burial by the river plot....I would assume they can scatter the ashes as they want, and bury some in the plot.....why would I need a box?? I never dealt with this before......I just know to not waste money on a typical funeral and all that crap....

it is.
my point was that the commercial prices are all over the lot, with very little correlation of size or material to price. a large one will be about 4-5 board feet of lumber. at a high end of $10/BF, that's $50 of materials, plus any hardware. at a low end, it's maybe $10 of materials. it's time. it takes time and effort to make something pretty and durable. |

After the studies were complete, not only were the ashes returned but John got a number of handwritten notes from the student doctors thanking him plus it went into some details about what they learned. |

That’s what they want.
Likely so it is not opened by accident. |
