Pretty much, yes. These are for direct cremation where there is no public viewing, we also have a cardboard viewing casket for brief family viewings, most people who have a traditional public viewing use a rental casket where the inside slides out after the funeral and goes to the crematory and the shell goes back on the shelf, and there are specific cremation caskets that are made of wood with minimal metal and designed for minimal residue and the whole casket goes into the retort (i.e. oven). Most of the folks I get opt for the lowest cost.
Make mine one with Ranger5g on the side …..:thumbsup:

Thanks for that detailed explanation Jon. Love learning about little random things. Really appreciate you taking your time explaining the process to me!

Oddly enough, never knew they looked like any other box. Can you get uhh.. decorated cremation boxes, kind of like adding a sport package to the truck for an additional net price cost of $795?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess yours would have Roush Racing stickers all over it. ? ?

No Dave. How dare you not believe in my loyalty change to Ford Performance. I am a new man. A cultured one. ? Okay maybe I cheated on FP a little the other week. Asked about a Roush Ranger Nitemare…

You know it's not to late to change careers and go to work for Roush designing mods for the Ranger. You'd probably save a ton of money too being able to test them out on your own truck. ?

I wonder if Tyger hitch armor would of saved your slight bumper hitch damage or would of caused structural frame damage to you or the other. What do you think?
I thought about something like that, but in my case the guy hit at a slight angle, not exactly straight across. as it is I thought the hitch assembly looked fine, but the shop showed me how the factory hitch unit is tweaked at its mounts, So, I think if there had been a hitch coupler or anything else sticking out it would have really tweaked the hitch unit, But it may have stopped the other guy from contacting my actual bumper. but I dont know if it would have prevented damage.
hard to guess. to be honest, my bumper and its assembly did what they were designed to do. Thankfully I dont have any body damage.

Big trucking day today, had to get a load of limestone fines at the masonry supply. We're running a mini-cupola at the local museum tomorrow to melt some iron, and need some limestone flux for the slag. However the cupola is so small, the coke and pig iron must be small too. Ditto, the stone. So I screened a small bucket of fines, that should do it. And I couldn't even tell Pepper was hauling anything :like:

I once buried someone in a beautiful Harley-Davidson casket. Glossy black, Harley logo on the front and the lid, and gold pinstripes.

Thanks for the explanation of the situation if a Tyger hitch armor would have helped. Sometimes I wonder how much damage will be caused to my truck if someone slammed into it very hard. More than not having it? Not quite sure. Happy you didn't have body damage.

I took my Ranger to get a dyno baseline and was very impressed. It barely fit on the dyno and the shop said this was the largest vehicle to grace their dyno.

Hauled 13 pieces of Flagstone in 2 loads to lay a patio in my back yard. Heavy stuff! Center stone laid.

1st load: 9 pieces @ 1200 lbs. The haul was mainly on level ground about 10 miles from the company's yard to my house. The Ranger did it with ease...couldn't tell I had a load in it!

2nd load: 4 pieces @ 560 lbs.
