Caskets

Click here for our Caskets

Choosing caskets is probably the most important, and most difficult part of planning for a funeral. Caskets come in a wide variety of styles and colors with many customizable adornments, and their uses are just as varied as their looks. Depending on one's culture caskets are buried directly in the ground, placed in a burial vault, or even cremated along with a body. Some more eccentric souls, such as actress Sarah Bernhardt, have been known to even sleep in caskets. Caskets are a loved-one's final, eternal home, and, therefore, care should be taken so that selecting task casket is not done hastily – or by just one or two people in a family. Prestige Memorials has recently added an extensive selection of caskets to its line of funeral products to help with this. We have made every effort to make our collection one of the largest available on-line, and we invite your family to use the wonders of the Internet to share in the selection of your loved-one's caskets -- no matter how scattered your family may be.

Casket Choices:

Caskets are almost as varied as the people they are intended for. Below is information about the various types of caskets that Prestige Memorials offers in its extensive new line.

Materials:

Prestige Memorials offers caskets made of the following materials: wood, metal and semi-metal.

Sizes Available:

Prestige Memorials offers caskets specifically for adults, children and infants.

Purposes:

Caskets are used for two main purposes. They will likely either be buried (directly in the ground or in a burial vault) or they will be cremated. Both purposes require different needs: burial caskets are typically made from strong material designed to last for years. Cremation caskets are typically made of wood, an inexpensive, combustible material.

Interesting Casket Facts:

Here are some Facts the FTC Federal Trade Commision has ruled on to protect the customer: 1. No Funeral Home can charge a handling fee when a casket is ordered anywhere else. 2. The Funeral Home cannot refuse a casket from another company. 3. The Funeral Home cannot ask for a receipt of the casket purchased somewhere else. 4. Require the family to sign a disclaimer or waiver. 5. The Funeral Home cannot withdraw a discount offer when the family chooses to purchase a casket somewhere else. 6. The Funeral Home cannot make any slanderous statements concerning purchasing a casket anywhere else. All those can be reported to the FTC and can result in fines of up to $10,000 for the funeral home.
