The #1 Alternative Container in North America
The Transporter is Innovation
Created in response to what Funeral Professionals were asking for, the Transporter® was pioneered by Starmark as a more dignified, flexible alternative to traditional cremation containers and steel tables.
Designed for removals, transport, I.D. viewings, and private farewells, it gives families a respectful setting while helping Funeral Homes deliver a thoughtful Basic Service experience.
Behind the Product
The Transporter Story
When Starmark began developing cremation products, cremation rates in the market were already rising.
But there was a problem.
For many families, the available choices jumped from a plain cardboard box to a traditional casket with very little in between.
Early versions were white and shallow, with each iteration carefully engineered and refined to improve strength, stability, handling, and overall appearance.
Then Starmark went into local funeral homes. Funeral Professionals tested them. Shared feedback. The Starmark team learned what worked and what didn’t.
That feedback shaped every version since.

Director's Choice
The Original, Since 2004
Before it was a staple, it was an idea worth trying.
In 2004, a funeral director told us the Transporter brought dignity to a moment that had been overlooked. Today, it's standard practice.
