According to funeral regulations, what type of container is required for body transportation?

The requirement for a sealed metal container for body transportation is based on regulations that ensure the respectful and safe transport of human remains. Sealed metal containers, such as caskets or burial vaults, provide adequate protection from environmental factors, safeguard the dignity of the deceased, and prevent any potential health hazards.

This choice reflects current healthcare guidelines, which prioritize the containment and sanitary transport of remains to prevent contamination or exposure, thereby addressing both legal responsibilities and ethical considerations within funeral services. In contrast, the other options may not provide the necessary level of security, protection, or compliance with regulations governing the transportation of human remains. For example, a cardboard box may not be sufficiently durable, a glass container could pose safety risks, and a fabric pouch would not offer the necessary level of protection required for transporting a body.
