Mystery Object No. 37

The box is well constructed using Oak with a brass plaque. My guess is that it is for transporting cremated remains back to England? A plastic bag and a laminated sign make me think this is a Post war item - about 1950/60?

Yes well deduced Robert correct on all counts.

 

It is a Casket, Cremation spec 1965. To be used in conjunction with Coffin, Cremation which differed from Coffin, Burial.

 

Both types of coffin had different specs for England & Wales compared with Scotland & N.Ireland.

 

Anybody know the differences?
