Let’s say for example that you got a deceased love ones who accidentally died which is an unexpected tragic event.

Thus, it is very important that you should acquire the proper measurements before you cut the materials.
If you are the type of person who really do not have much creativity, you can just build a rectangular shape coffin. It’s so easy to build a frame for this kind of shape.
Aside from the 2 x 3 inch woods used for the frame, you also need to buy some plywood.

This material is what you are going to use to cover both the internal and external sides of the casket but leave the top portion yet. Just prepare the top cover and set it aside for a while.
After all the funeral and other sorts of stuffs are done, you can now put the cover with the deceased inside the casket you made. You have to nail it so that it stays permanent.
And the rest is all up to you now.

This means that a casket with good quality and decorations means, it is quite an expensive one.
But if you do not have much money, you are indeed still far better off building the casket yourself. If you do lack some creativity, I would suggest searching YouTube for DIY tutorial videos.
