Military Caskets

Military Caskets by Branch

Army Casket: The army casket features an onyx-black steel exterior with a deep red velvet interior, full swing handlebars, sculpted corners, and five-pointed star accents along the base. The official Army insignia is displayed on the interior panel, creating a distinguished tribute for any soldier who served in the United States Army.

Navy Casket: The navy casket shares the same onyx-black steel construction with silver accents along the lid and a silver velvet interior. The Navy insignia on the interior panel honors sailors and service members who served at sea. This military coffin pairs well with a flag draping ceremony and full military honors.

Marine Corps Casket: The marine corps casket features the onyx-black finish with gold accents and a red velvet interior bearing the official Marine Corps emblem. Whether honoring an active-duty Marine or a retired veteran, the marine corp casket provides a fitting final tribute for those who earned the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor.

Air Force Casket: The Air Force casket stands out with a patriot blue steel exterior and matching blue velvet interior. Official Air Force insignia and the same sculpted corner details complete the design, creating a respectful presentation for airmen and airwomen.

Coast Guard Casket: The Coast Guard casket also features the patriot blue finish with appropriate Coast Guard insignia and matching interior details, honoring those who served in maritime defense and rescue operations.

First Responder Caskets

In addition to military caskets, Memorials.com carries caskets designed to honor first responders who served their communities with the same dedication as those in uniform. The Police Officer casket features a blue exterior with silver accents and official police insignia, while the Firefighter casket is finished in black with red accents and firefighter emblems. Both caskets share the same steel construction, velvet interiors, and quality craftsmanship found in our military funeral casket collection.

Choosing a Military Casket

Branch Selection: Choose the casket that matches the branch of service where your loved one served. Each military casket features authentic branch insignia and color schemes specific to the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard. If the veteran served in multiple branches, select the branch where they spent the most time or held the highest rank.

Construction and Quality: All military caskets are built with 20-gauge steel construction for lasting durability. The full swing handlebars, sculpted corners, and five-pointed star accents are standard across every branch design. Interiors are lined with plush velvet in colors that complement the branch color scheme, and each casket includes the official branch insignia on the interior panel.

Burial Planning: Military caskets are appropriate for traditional cemetery burial with or without a burial vault. Many national cemeteries require an outer burial container, so check with the cemetery before making arrangements. Veterans may qualify for burial benefits that help cover funeral costs — learn more about VA burial benefits and eligibility requirements.

Flag Presentation: A military funeral typically includes the presentation of an American flag draped over the casket. The flag is folded into a triangle and presented to the next of kin at the conclusion of the service. Our guide to folding a flag for display explains how to preserve and display the burial flag at home after the ceremony.

Pairing with Other Memorial Products: Many families complement a military casket with additional memorial items. Memorials.com also carries military and veteran urns for families choosing cremation, as well as caskets in other styles if you are still comparing options.
