Burial Casket

A burial casket reflects the personality of your loved one and can be a final tribute to their life. Selecting a burial casket is a very personal and complex decision that sometimes must be made in a timely manner.

Our firm is here to lend a helping hand and to relieve some of your distress by aiding you in making the perfect burial casket selection to honor your loved one.

The burial casket serves many important functions. The burial casket is an expression of your feelings dedicated for your loved one. It will be the final resting place for the earthly remains of your loved one. The burial casket allows for proper transportation and presentation of the deceased in a respectful and dignified manner for the visitation, funeral service and final disposition. A burial casket supplies a degree of protection for the remains of the deceased during disposition.

The Funeral Director is required to show you a general price list (GPL) of the available caskets with descriptions and pricing before showing you the product. Traditionally, it is more common for consumers to purchase a burial casket from a third party such as from using a website or visiting a showroom. If you purchase funeral goods from a third party, it is usually more cost effective. Selecting a burial casket from a website enables you to shop from the comfort of your own home and compare numerous caskets as well as pricing. This can be very beneficial.

A burial casket can be constructed using a variety of materials. There are two primary types of caskets to choose from (Metal versus Wood). The metal burial casket is available in basic steel thicknesses of: 20 Gauge, 18 Gauge and 16 Gauge; and are available in semi-precious metals such as: bronze, copper and stainless steel. A wooden burial casket is made using various wood species including: ash, cherry, hickory, mahogany, maple, oak, pecan, pine poplar and walnut. The wooden burial casket involves greater hand labor in their construction opposed to metal units. Pricing is reflective of this fact. The interiors for the burial casket are made from: crepe, satin and velvet with several styling options available.
