If you find it hard to remember, just think about funeral homes trying to rip people off and that “casket” is a term from those little jewelry boxes for rings and such, and those are hinged.
Funeral homes want more money = trying to associate your dead family with jewelry = “spend a little more for a nice casket, you don’t want them to rot in some coffin do you?”
Of the hundreds I have I have yet to carry a coffin. But regularly carry caskets. Even green burials which take place in wicker and reed “boxes” … They are made in flate panels and then strung together to form a large basket still refered to as a casket.
This is quite literally down my area of operation though… some mayoffer coffins but know it isn’t a matter of just cost but sometimes offerings in the local area as well as regulations and customs … though most of it is very similar there can be quite wildly different processes.

So, just the base level of a pyramid scheme.
No – that would be if they tried to tempt you to be buried in a sarcophagus
