Coffins vs Caskets

What's the difference you ask?

Coffins are wide to accommodate the shoulders, while small at the foot end.  Modern day caskets aren't anywhere near the shape of a coffin.

Thanks to the law professor who first thought caskets were fancy and coffins were plain until he heard from a funeral home.

This is a coffin.

Oh, I see. Well, when I draw a box that a dead person is stored in, I always choose the coffin shape.
