A burial casket having an image receiving surface includes a container, a cover and a coating applied to the exterior surface of the casket for receiving images. The image receiving surface includes at least one layer of stain applied directly to the exterior surface of the casket, a shading toner applied on top of the stain, a lacquer sealer applied on top of the shading toner, and at least one layer of gloss lacquer applied on top of the lacquer sealer. The container has a rectangular central portion which forms the bottom of the casket, opposed end walls which form the ends of the casket, and opposed side walls which form the sides of the casket. The cover overlies the ends walls and the sides walls and is hingedly connected to one of the side walls for moving between an open position and a closed position. The casket also includes media for introducing the images on the image receiving surface. The media include ink, dye, plastic, chalk, paint, charcoal, decals and transfers. The media are applied to the image receiving surface with instruments such as pens, pencils, crayons, ink markers, paint brushes and aerosol spray containers. A method for forming the image receiving surface on the casket is also disclosed.
