What does 20 gauge steel mean on a casket?

Gauge measures the thickness of the steel, and a lower number means thicker metal. A 20 gauge casket is the most widely chosen steel option in the United States, offering solid protection and a finished appearance at a more accessible price than heavier gauges.

How does 20 gauge compare with 18 gauge steel?

Both are steel. An 18 gauge casket uses thicker metal and weighs more, while 20 gauge is slightly lighter and more affordable. The finish, interior and hardware options are similar, so the choice usually comes down to budget and how much weight the family wants to carry.

What shade of blue is the Orion Indigo?

It is a rich indigo blue, a deep blue with subtle blue highlights rather than a bright or pale one. In person it reads as dark and understated, closer to navy than to a sky or powder blue.

What color is the interior?

The interior is a light blue crepe, which sits deliberately against the deeper indigo outside. The contrast is gentle rather than sharp, and it lightens the inside of the casket when the lid is open.

Is the Orion Indigo suitable for a man or a woman?

Either. Deep blue is one of the more universally chosen casket colors, and families select it for men and women alike. The finish carries no gendered detailing.

How much does the Orion Indigo weigh?

It weighs about 160 pounds empty. That is a normal weight for a 20 gauge steel casket and is typically carried by six pallbearers, which is worth mentioning to your funeral director when they plan the service.

Will it look the same as the photographs when it arrives?

It ships exactly as pictured, with the same finish, interior fabric and hardware. This is a standard catalog casket rather than a made to order one, so what you see on this page is what arrives.
