they're really not all that cheap, either.
If I remember correctly, the cheapest box the funeral place would sell me for cremation when my dad died cost like $500. And it was plywood, not pine.
It was $200 more for if you wanted a flip up lid for a service.
I think then the environmental fee was on top of that.
