All of our caskets and containers have been selected by us to provide a range of products that meet both the need for quality and affordability that is reflected in the broad requirements of the families we serve.
If you are looking for a specific type of casket or manufacturer's model please let us know and we will make every effort possible to accommodate your needs.
DIRECT DISPOSITION CONTAINERS: The direct disposition container is used primarily for immediate cremation, although is sometimes used for earth burial as well. Under current regulations the remains must be placed in a some sort of container (which will meet the requirements of the crematorium) or casket before being transported to the Crematorium or Cemetery.
Containers range in price from $ 375.00 to $ 740.00
WOODEN CASKETS: These caskets are primarily selected by families who chose to have a traditional visitation and funeral service, private family services or graveside services. They are selected for either, earth burial or cremation. They are made from many different species of wood, they may be manufactured from softwood (fabric covering), wood veneer, solid wood. Some of the more common species are cottonwood, birtch, poplar, oak, cherry and mahogany.
Wooden caskets range in price from $ 960.00 to $ 5,464.00
STEEL CASKETS: These caskets are primarily selected for earth burial, because each and every steel casket in our selection room is hermetically sealed when closed. Families that have chosen earth burial, spring burial or the shipment of remains to a distant location, find peace of mind in knowing the remains are secure and are excluded from the elements. Steel caskets although come in various colors, the difference in price from one to the other has nothing to do with their color. The difference in price has to do with the thickness of steel (the guage). For caskets, 20 guage steel is the the basic thickness manufactured, 18 guage is the standard thickness and 16 guage is the premium thickness before plate steel or semi-precious metal caskets. Caskets manufactured from Stainless Steel are also available in our selection room. All of the above mentioned caskets have a one piece rubber gasket and locking mechanism which enables ultimate protection.
Steel caskets range in price from $ 2,496.00 to $ 4,262.00
SEMI-PRECIOUS METAL CASKETS: These caskets are manufactured from Solid Copper and Solid Bronze. They are measured and priced by the ounces of solid copper or bronze in the manufacturing process. All of the semi-precious metals are naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, they have a one piece rubber gasket and locking mechanism.
Semi-precious metal caskets range in price from $ 6,380.00 to $ 7,096.00
