I have done some woodworking, and I’d have a difficult time providing a decent casket for $1149. These are obviously sourced from low labor cost areas.
I meant something that looked nice. The hardware, surface conditioning, and paint job is not a trivial expense, after the lumber is bought, cut, and assembled.
A cheap cheap version could be made out of furnace plenum duct metal. Or cardboard. Actually I’d prefer to be rolled up in a piece of old carpet torn out during remodeling.
Why are coffins so expensive? I’m going to start telling people to throw me into trash when I’m dead like Frank Reynolds.

What if it’s just a human-shaped crate, just 6 rough, untreated planes of wood nailed together? That couldn’t be that expensive, right?
Have you checked lumber prices recently?
I haven’t. But I can’t imagine a human shaped shipping crate to cost close to 1000 $.
