Precious metals are metals like bronze, copper, platinum, etc. Many families choose bronze or copper because it is superior to all other casket materials in beauty, luster, strength, durability and naturally non-rusting qualities.

Note:
Some caskets are described as gasketed, protective, or sealer caskets. These terms mean that the casket has a rubber gasket or some other feature that is designed to delay the penetration of water into the casket and prevent rust. The Funeral Rule forbids claims that these features help preserve the remains indefinitely because they don't.
