## Frequently asked questions

### Who is the Titan Casket Orion Series for?

The Titan Casket Orion Series is for most families who want a sealed steel casket for burial. It is the default recommendation on our board: 18-gauge steel, a reliable gasketed closure, and the best direct-to-consumer logistics in the category. If you want solid wood, the Overnight Caskets Mahogany Solid Wood with Velvet Interior is the better fit. If you want a sealed steel casket and do not need the thickest steel, the Titan Casket Era Series costs less.

### How thick is the steel on the Titan Casket Orion Series?

The Titan Casket Orion Series is made from 18-gauge steel. A lower gauge number means thicker metal, so 18-gauge is thicker than the 20-gauge used on the Titan Casket Era Series. The board notes that 18-gauge is thick enough to avoid flex at the handles and the lid.

### Is the Titan Casket Orion Series sealed?

Yes. The Titan Casket Orion Series has a gasketed seal and locking hardware, which the board describes as well executed for the price. A gasket slows the entry of air and water. It does not preserve the body indefinitely, and no casket does.

### Will a funeral home accept a Titan Casket Orion Series bought online?

Yes. Under the FTC Funeral Rule in the United States a funeral home must accept a casket bought elsewhere and may not charge a fee for handling it. Titan Casket is the most established direct-to-consumer brand on our board with a real fulfillment track record. Confirm delivery timing with the funeral home before you order.

### Can the Titan Casket Orion Series be used for cremation?

No. The Titan Casket Orion Series is a steel casket and crematories generally require a combustible container. For cremation with a viewing, the Titan Casket Eco I Pine Box on our board is the suitable choice.

## What this tier means

- S: Exceptional. Finishes top run after run; capped at 3 slots per category.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
