Gifted artisans design each Mummiform to exact specifications. The Mummiform and "life mask" can be designed to incorporate the symbology of any religious or philosophical belief that you may hold. Everything is created in exact accordance with your wishes, as set forth in your pre-need arrangement.

The Mummiform is first sculpted in clay. A mold is taken and finally, the Mummiform is cast in 1/4 inch bronze or stainless steel. The surface of the Mummiform may be left as a polished surface, or intricately inscribed with text. It may be inlaid with gold, ceramics, or jewels.

In place of the Mummiform, you may choose a traditional burial casket. The casket must be a full couch 48oz. bronze or full couch stainless steel casket.

The Batesville burial caskets shown here are examples of such caskets and are available through the funeral home you select.

Your indelible effigy is hermetically sealed by Summum within a capsule Mummiform of 1/4 inch bronze. The capsule Mummiform is then placed inside the casket.
