Abstract: A primarily plastic cadaver container is molded in the form of caskets, coffins, sarcophagues, mummy shaped containers, etc., produced from primarily plastic and other materials. While all the plastic can be new virgin plastic in most instances it can, advantageously, be reclaimed plastic even chemically contaminated plastic except for some medically contaminated and/or radioactive plastic material. The containers may be clear or opaque and have various designs included and have see through windows making opening of the container containing a body unnecessary, and the containers can be made air tight such that neither air or gas enter or escape a container. Non porous glass sheets or glass matting is used as a liner in a sealed container with a further inner liner of plastic useable to protect the inner surface of the glass sheets or glass matting used thereon.

Abstract: This invention utilizes the beauty and durability of stained glass combined with innovative assembly techniques to provide a cremation urn that is pleasing in appearance, light in weight, rugged in construction, and moisture and dust resistant to meet all of the criteria that have been established for cremation urns. On the base a layer of foam on the inside of the urn further seals the urn and prevents rattling of the cremation remains. Also, a paper line prevents the remains from being visible.
