Funerals are for the living – providing an opportunity to gather family and friends to celebrate a life. Your funeral-service professional will gladly assist you in planning a funeral and selecting funeral products that help you memorialize and celebrate your loved one. Selecting a casket can be a difficult choice for one to make. It is important to limit your emotions as much as possible and make an informed choice. All of the caskets represented in this catalog are manufactured by companies with strong reputations for producing caskets with high-quality materials and skilled workmanship. The vast majority of the caskets are manufactured in the United States, while a few hardwoods come from Canada. One can be assured that every casket represented in this book is a quality-manufactured product.

The caskets shown in this catalog are arranged into two basic groups: wood and metal. Generally speaking, caskets are shown within a category from higher priced to lower priced. Pricing of caskets varies as a result of the construction material and the amount of labor took to make it. The chart below serves as a good guide to understanding the variety of materials used in the construction of caskets and the relative value of one to another.

Most caskets can be customized or personalized to some degree. Options include adding names, dates, hobbies, military service, religious and civic affiliations. See the catalog page for additional details regarding personalization options.

If you choose cremation rather than a traditional burial service, please note that most of the hardwood caskets shown are designed for use as either a burial or cremation casket. These caskets can be used to show the body during visitation and then used to transport the body to the crematory after the memorial service. A small selection of the most popular urns and keepsakes is also available.
