About Merchandise

Caskets: We always maintain an inventory of 25-30 caskets for you to choose from.

For Cremation:

Many families that opt to have their loved ones cremated rent a casket from the funeral home for the visitation and funeral, eliminating the cost of buying a casket. If you opt for visitation and cremation, ask about the rental option. For those who choose a direct cremation without a viewing or other ceremony where the body is present, the funeral provider must offer an inexpensive unfinished wood box or alternative container, a non-metal enclosure B pressboard, cardboard, or canvas B that is cremated with the body.

Under the Funeral Rule, funeral directors who offer direct cremations:

  • May not tell you that state or local law requires a casket for direct cremations, because none do;
  • Must disclose in writing your right to buy an unfinished wood box or an alternative container for a direct cremation;
  • Must make an unfinished wood box or other alternative container available for direct cremations.

Burial vaults or grave liners, also known as burial containers, are commonly used in a traditional, full-service funerals. The vault or liner is placed in the ground before burial, and the casket is lowered into it at burial. The purpose is to prevent the ground from caving in as the casket deteriorates over time. A grave liner is made of reinforced concrete and will satisfy any cemetery requirement. Grave liners cover only the top and sides of the casket. A burial vault is more substantial and expensive than a grave liner. It surrounds the casket in concrete or another material and may be sold with a warranty of protective strength.

Before showing you any outer burial containers, a funeral provider is required to give you a list of prices and descriptions.

Preservative Processes and Products
As far back as the ancient Egyptians, people have used oils, herbs and special body preparations to help preserve the bodies of their dead. Yet, no process or products have been devised to preserve a body in the grave indefinitely. The Funeral Rule prohibits funeral providers from telling you that it can be done. For example, funeral provides may not claim that either embalming or a particular type of casket will preserve the body of the deceased for an unlimited time.
