Many people often confuse the two.

What you are looking at below is not a coffin.


It is a casket.

Coffins:


Have 6 sides. They are designed to taper off at the bottom to accommodate the feet.

Originally they were used because they were seen as more efficient uses of wood.

Caskets became popular over the past 200 years because they are seen as being slightly less morbid —the 4-sided shape being less reminiscent of a dead body.

Fun stuff, right?

Nice. I'm just knowing the difference today. I always thought they were two words for the same thing.

"Is a coffin and a casket the same thing?"
"a coffin and a casket? The difference is basically one of design. Coffins are tapered at the head and foot and are wide at the shoulders. Caskets are rectangular in shape and are usually constructed of better quality timbers and feature higher standards of workmanship."

"Which is cheaper coffin or casket?"
"You may hear a casket referred to as a coffin. Since they serve the same purpose, both terms may be used interchangeably. ... Coffins are often cheaper than caskets because their design uses less material during construction."

While a Casket might have the same use as a Coffin, it is also used to serve drinks for yahoo boys and celebrities in a club...

I always thought they were the same.

We learn new things everyday.
