What is typically the intention behind using a rental casket?

The intention behind using a rental casket primarily revolves around the concept of permitting reuse after a funeral service. Rental caskets are designed for use during the viewing or service and are intended to be returned for another family's use after the funeral. This approach allows families to have the option of using a high-quality casket for the service without the full financial burden of purchasing one outright. This practice can be more environmentally friendly as well, as it promotes the reuse of materials rather than manufacturing new caskets for each service.

The other options do not align with the primary intent of rental caskets. For example, rental caskets are not specifically designed to provide discretion during burial, nor are they limited to display purposes only. While making a larger casket more accessible might seem plausible, it does not capture the essence of post-service reuse that defines the rental casket's purpose.
