        I don’t know a lot about caskets. Why would you insulate one used to bury a person? It’s not like they are going to complain about the temperture.

        I have no idea why they did it. I’m not them. There are any number of reasons they could have done it.

          Thank you, I almost asked the same thing. It’s a coffin, not a freezer.

          Also, is it not literally foam insulation? Which is lightweight and sturdy enough to make a Halloween coffin. Actually a pretty brilliant use of materials.

            I mean, to me it looks like they used foam board insulation from Lowes to form the walls.

            Where I live it could be fairly cold on Oct. 31st, so assuming a (living) person will be in it to scare people, it might make sense. Or they just had one leftover from another project and used it.

              Thank you!

              I couldn’t find the Lowe’s foam insulation on their website so I wasn’t sure.

              But I was like, this is genius! Easy to move too.
