The answer is yes. Funeral
directors are required by law to provide a list of prices for every casket they
sell, not just the expensive ones highlighted in the showroom. There are many places you can purchase a
casket. You may not get the personalized
service that you would receive from your local funeral home but if price is
your main objective then shop around. Some
Costco locations are even selling caskets.
The Internet is a great source for sites that sell caskets
directly to you. Beware of sites that
show photos without prices. If they are
really offering the lowest price then they should not be afraid to list it. Remember to consider the shipping charges
when choosing a casket; you will need it delivered within a few days. Where the company is and where you are will
make a difference. To keep shipping
costs down look for a company that ships from your state. Some companies have free shipping within the
same state.
To help you find a reputable site look for companies that
display the Better Business Logo and give a direct link to their BBB review
page. You will see how long the company
has been in business, a BBB rating and any customer complaints.
When you find the right casket ask your funeral home if they
would price match. I know it sounds
strange and you may not be emotionally able to deal with this in your time of
need. A good idea is to let someone that
is not so emotionally involved ask for you.
