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.

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 $.
