On the website of the Federal Trade Commission, there is a Funeral Rule by which the funeral home has no right to refuse coffins from third-party seller. Funeral homes have no choice but to accept any caskets you chose, whether from a third party vendor or not. Additionally, funeral homes are not allowed to charge any extra money for the use of caskets from a third-party vendor. You can use our caskets in any funeral home.
Federal Trade Commission, official website: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0300-ftc-funeral-rule
The exterior measurements of the most common size for a casket are about 24 inches deep, 27-1/2 inches to 30-1/2 inches wide, and 81 inches in length. In addition, we offer oversized caskets for sale.
Because it takes business away from them and they often use a large margin for the coffins they are selling, they might try to dissuade you from buying a coffin online or from a third-party seller.
However, according to the Federal Trade Commission's rules, you have the right to buy a coffin from any third-party seller, and, in most cases, it will help you save a significant amount of money.
It is not necessary to mention that you are going to buy a casket from a third-party seller and this does not violate the rules of the Federal Trade Commission. We recommend you request GPL (General Price List) first, which a funeral home must provide to you by law, and only after receiving the prices for all of their services, inform them that you are planning to buy a casket from a third-party seller. This is not a violation in any way and will allow you to save a decent amount of money.
The gauge number indicates how thick the metal is. The lower the gauge-number, the thicker the metal is.
A casket with a gasket is considered sealed because it has a shaped piece of rubber around the lid that keeps water and air out. A not-sealed casket has no gasket and has only a latch to hold the top of the casket in place. We would recommend the sealed casket if you are transporting the deceased across the state line or transporting by air, sea, or train.
Our caskets are packaged in a Styrofoam and cardboard box. Our packaging is designed specifically to prevent any type of damage transportation the casket. Most of the funeral homes do not require disposing of the packaging of the delivered casket. In rare cases, some funeral homes may require the customer or transportation company to dispose of the packaging of the delivered casket. If the funeral home has such a requirement, let us know about it at the moment of purchase or before the shipping, and we will take care of the packaging. If the customer didn’t inform us of the disposal requirement prior to the purchase, we could not instruct the driver to take away the packaging. In addition, you have an option to do it yourself. At the time of delivery, you can take away the packaging and dispose of it yourself. The packaging can be easily folded, then taken away, and disposed of.
Yes, we offer both standard and oversized caskets.
Yes, we offer a variation of caskets for cremation. Keep in mind, almost all of the wood caskets can be used for cremation. However, you should check this with the crematory first in the case if the casket you selected has metal parts. In our experience, most of the crematories have no problems removing metal parts after the cremation process.
There are several retailers who sell the caskets online. At our shop, you will have the possibility to scroll through a large variety of models, with costs covering budgets of all sizes. Free and fast shipping and a friendly customer service are some of the selling points attracting our customers.
At Trusted Caskets, you can find models starting at as low as about $1000, with the average price for the most popular funeral casket models two times lower than the funeral home's prices.
There is no straight answer, as there are many things to consider. The best casket should match the deceased's personality and come with a price that matches your budget. The coffin should have features that the family appreciates the most (outside material, fabric for the interior, handles, color, etc..) without emptying your wallet. The overall quality counts the most, so make sure you never rush to buy at first sight. Many models are available, so take time to select before placing the order.
