Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about casket selection.

When selecting a casket, consider your budget, personal preferences, and any wishes expressed by your loved one. Think about the material (wood or metal), style, color, interior fabric, and any personalization options that would be meaningful. Our funeral directors can help guide you through these considerations.

Cemeteries may have specific requirements regarding outer burial containers (vaults or grave liners) that protect the casket. However, there are generally no regulations limiting your choice of casket. If you're planning a cremation, you can choose a cremation casket or a rental casket for the viewing before cremation.

Yes, the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule allows you to purchase a casket from an outside source, and funeral homes are required to accept them without charging a handling fee. However, we offer a wide selection of quality caskets at competitive prices and can help ensure the casket meets your needs and arrives on time.

Sealer caskets, typically made of metal, feature a rubber gasket or seal designed to delay the entry of outside elements into the casket. Non-sealer caskets do not have this feature. It's important to note that no casket, regardless of its sealing features, preserves remains indefinitely. The type of casket you choose should be based on personal preference rather than preservation expectations.
